I want to create new Chrome windows (no tabs) from outside of Chrome, e.g. by running Chrome.exe multiple times. How can I do this so as to get a single Chrome window? The default result is to create new tabs in the existing window which requires me to drag and drop the tag to create a new window.

As per this:
using --new-window should work.

From a commandline, you can create new windows from URLS by running chrome.exe --new-window <url>.
If you're trying to accomplish something else you can always fall back to IE6+Chrome Frame ;-).

What are you trying to accomplish? Is this for a program that opens a browser link or for within the browser? – digitxp – 2010-11-21T17:43:24.080
Interesting...everytime I execute Chrome.exe, it causes a new window with a single tab to appear, without affecting the existing instance(s) in any way. – Mussnoon – 2010-11-21T17:44:11.393
actually I wanted to look for the inverse of this. – Archimedes Trajano – 2012-08-14T05:04:28.417
