Commandline Switches in Chromium

Most people have probably explored the application shortcut available through the Chromium menu. What this does is make a shortcut on your desktop or in your quicklaunch area that passes a command-line switch to Chromium telling it to launch the web address in application mode.  What most people don't realize is that Chromium accepts about one hundred different switches from the commanline.  Now most of those switches aren't going to be useful at all unless you are a developer, but some are pretty cool. For instance, did you know that you can automatically launch your browser in incognito mode?

PS C:\chrome-win32> .\chrome.exe --incognito

If you can examine the source code you'll find these switches in \chrome\common\chrome_switches.cc
