I am trying to start chrome in windows 8.1 for a Kiosk
start "" chrome file:///C:/kiosk/kiosk.swf –kiosk –allow-file-access-from-files –incognito –enable-screensaver-extensions –kiosk-mode-screensaver-path file:///C:/kiosk/screensaver.swf
it is opening every one of the commandline options as if they are separate pages. leaving only -kiosk works. but I need the screensave and the page to open up as well.
I have googled, and googled and I am still lost. Any advice?
Thank you
The command is wrong:
start chrome --kiosk file:///C:/kiosk/kiosk.swf --allow-file-access-from-files --incognito --enable-screensaver-extensions --kiosk-mode-screensaver-path=file:///C:/kiosk/screensaver.swf
The main issues were with the command line switches (they all start with two hyphens not one), and the superfluous ""
at the beginning.
You also don't strictly need to use the start
command; you can start Chrome by just calling the exe directly (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe
or similar, depending on where you have it installed on your machine).
