Configuration: Chrome - Force Incognito Mode
| 0 Votes |
Description
This fixlet uses Local Group Policy to set Chrome Policies
The changes are made the binary file located here: C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Registry.pol
The changes are also seen in the registry here: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome"
NOTE: Editing the registry directly does not work. These changes must be made using Local GPO. These policies seem to work with the per-user version of chrome, not just the enterprise MSI version.
