I copied the -incognito from your instructions; and it didn’t work for me. When I tried to add another “-” I noticed the copied version from the webpage wasn’t a “-” it was a ‘endash’ (not a hyphen).
Maybe waveydavie did the same as me.
The upshot is if you type 1 hyphen it works

whoops, the comment joined the two dashes together, it’s supposed to be double dashes.

For those who like using keyboard shortcuts, you can use Windows Key + r key to “Run” an application. When the Run window dialog box pops up enter “chrome –incognito” (without quotes).

This option is stored there as a recent application so it will be available next time. Some of my favorite shortcuts are “cmd” “notepad” and “calc”. Enjoy!

Make sure there is a space between the last apostrophe and the double (–)dash. Even then if there is a mistake with the gap, the browser won’t start but an alert box will pop up saying that you have typed an invalid path. I think you are typing a single dash (hyphen) instead of twice (–)

Tried it again, same result. Here’s a screenshot: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3044/3269704885_85204097b4_o.jpg
