Open Chrome in Incognito Mode by Default

Requires modifying a couple of registry keys:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\chrome.exe\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\" --incognito -- \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe\" --incognito -- \"%1\""

Chromium OS Live USB

I've been inspired by this lifehacker article to give Chromium OS (a non-Google version Chrome OS) a try on an out-dated Gateway.

I'm using the Chromium "Lime" build available here.

I'm using these steps to burn the image to a USB drive.

Update: While I was able to get a build working on my modern HP laptop, it was an epic fail on the ancient desktop. It's probably just as well since it's PIII, 256 RAM probably wouldn't have been able to handle Chromium OS anyway.
