How can you configure Chrome to open new browser instances in new windows rather than in a tab?

Question

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.

Solution 1

As per this:

using --new-window should work.

Solution 2

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 ;-).
