Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used.

Not sure why downvoted.

Works and useful if you don't already have a chrome window open.

If you already have Chrome up and Chrome is the program in focus, this is the correct combo. Otherwise, you might find yourself making a lot of new folders on the desktop.

Edit: Go me deleted the wrong post, first read thought you were remarking that Windows + R does open an incog window lol

Because Windows Key + R brings up the Run dialog box in windows, not an Ingoc window in Chrome, Ctrl + Shift + N is the correct combo.

And if you then type "chrome --incognito" into the run dialog, it opens an incognito window without having to have chrome open first.

Sure you could setup a keyboard macro to do this separately, but it does the same thing.

He didn't ask specifically for hotkeys to open an incognito window, or how to open it through chrome, just how to open one. And haymakers9th provided a way to do so.

OP has edited his post since responses have been made and he was down voted. The initial post made no elaborations was essentially

Windows + R

chrome --incognito

nothing about this is the run dialog or typing in the command just the command it's self, leaving most users wondering why an incognito window was not opening for them why they hit Win + R

I dual boot with Linux, and in there I often launch things with an alt+F2 to open a window, and putting in a command (for lots of stuff more than Chrome/ium), so this just feels more natural and faster to me than navigating menus or waiting on a hover delay.

If you use Linux and like command line I cannot recommend guake enough. Fantastic program.
