irritating chrome 'feature'

I use Chrome for my internet banking activities - and prefer to do that in 'incognito' mode.

I have a desktop shortcut which I have amended to start Chrome directly into an incognito window (you add --incognito to the command).

Something (I strongly suspect google updater but can't prove it) keeps amending my shortcut to remove the --incognito edit.

Anyone, hello chuck :-), got any better idea what might be doing this and/or how to stop it happening ??

You could try making the shortcut read only.

Also, you say you've amended the desktop shortcut...

Do you mean you amended the standard shortcut that chrome places on the desktop? if so try creating a totally new shortcut, the updater very likely would replace the standard shortcut but it shouldn't touch a new shortcut.

Have done that too - but will wait & see if the original one gets 'unedited' again
