Full-screen Google Chrome on Open
September 19th, 2008
Edit: For clarification - there is no full-screen mode in Google Chrome yet. This simply opens the browser maximized.
One thing that many users may find frustrating is that Google Chrome opens in window mode. Thankfully there is a simple fix for this. By editing the Google Chrome shortcut, you simply need to add the -start-maximized parameter to the end of the shortcut line.
Your new shortcut line should look something like this:
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe -start-maximized
Problem solved! Chrome will now open in full-screen mode.
