Chrome.exe command line switches

[sulasno]

old themes do not work with the current version of Chrome;
there is an update to the version of Chrome that you are using
and only 3 themes are working for the time being

I always try to run the latest version of software available;

the creators of themes will always try to update their themes whenever possible, time permitting

I remapped a physical key on my HP Envy (specifically a "browser" action key) by modifying the associated regedit item. It was an Association type entry with a value of "http". I changed it to a ShellExecute type with value "chrome". I also tried using the full path of chrome.exe -- same difference.

If I have an existing chrome window running with one or more tabs, when I hit the remapped button, instead of launching chrome in a new window or adding a new tab -- it redirects the "current tab" to the default home page.

I tried using the --new-window command-line arg in the regedit entry, but hitting the key still does not launch chrome.exe in a new window. (BTW -- Using that switch within the Windows Start / Run prompt "does" launch a new chrome window. Maybe that --new-window switch is a windows-shell switch?

Is there a chrome.exe switch that will result in a new window of chrome being lifted -- when chrome.exe is used with that switch in a regedit entry?

I'd even settle for a switch that tells chrome to add a new tab to the currently active chrome browser window.

I just don't like it redirecting an existing tab (moving it from whatever site it was on).

Any insights would be appreciated.

Chrome Command Line Switches:

Google Chrome has a number of command line switches which change the behavior of Chrome, some of these switches can be turned on/off in the regular settings menu such as “dns-prefetch-disable” however others cannot.

To launch and use the switches, you append the switch name when calling Chrome on launch like:

“…..\Application\chrome.exe” –crash-test

Which would obviously execute the crash test function.
