I am trying to create a desktop shortcut to launch Chrome or Opera in Kiosk Mode and to a specific URL. I've tried adjusting the target to include /KioskMode after chrome.exe.
Does anyone know the general format? I think I can access the directory properly because the shortcut launches the browser, so I just need to know how to launch in Kiosk to a particular URL. This is in Windows.

(in addition to ytg's answer)
If you add your desired website URL after /kioskmode, that site will be launched in kiosk mode
C:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe /KioskMode www.google.de

C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe http://www.google.com --kiosk
Here you are
You can do the same on Linux
Exec=/usr/bin/chromium-browser --noerrdialogs --disable-session-crashed-bubble --disable-infobars --kiosk http://www.google.com
I found a perfect tutorial but it's in French, still translatable in my opinion. Here

Opera Chromium seems to have removed the kioskmode on OSX and Chrome never enabled it on OSX. – fregante – 2014-06-22T22:42:49.097
-kioskmodeis not working on Linux with version 47.0.2631.39. Neither is other flags, such as-fullscreen. – joelostblom – 2017-08-24T09:53:57.270
