How to start Chrome in Safe Mode?

One of the quickest ways to open Incognito mode is to right-click on the Chrome icon in the taskbar and then click the New incognito window on the context menu or simple press Shift+Ctrl+N after opening the Chrome browser.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application

Step 2: If you already have the Desktop Chrome icon, start from here. Hover to your Chrome icon and right-click on it, now from the context menu select Properties as shown in the picture above.

Step 3: As you approach the Properties window, make sure that the Shotcut tab is selected, Now in the location area next to Target type -incognito at the end of the already written text and then hit the OK button.

Important: Do not forget to leave space before -incognito in the location bar; otherwise, Chrome will invalidate the command.
