Step 2: Once the Context Menu pops up on your screen, click on “Properties”
Step 3: Click on the Shortcut tab and search for the Target text field. Now, at the end of the line that reads “C: Program Files (x86)GoogleChromeApplicationchrome.exe.”, add this — “-incognito” without the quotation marks.
Step 4: Once you’ve made the changes in the Target field, tap on Apply and then click the Ok button. Doing this will give you a warning message but you can ignore it and continue with the process.
