I know that I can make Google Chrome start in incognito mode by adding "-incognito" in a shortcut. However, if I click on a link in Outlook or a word processor, for example, the link will still open in Chrome's normal mode.
How can I make Google Incognito my DEFAULT browser so that when clicking on links in another program, they open in Google Incognito automatically, not normal mode? I want Chrome Incognito to actually be my default browser without having to open it myself using the "-incognito" shortcut.

It's possible using a registry edit. Start
Regedit.exe
and go to:Double-click
(default)
and include the-incognito
switch afterChrome.exe
. For example, if the value data is set as:"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" "%1"
Change that to:
"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -incognito "%1"
That should do it.
(On a 64 bit system, if you installed the 32-bit version of Chrome, the path would look like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -incognito "%1"
)
