    Is there a way to automate in Powershell, to open Chrome/IE with parameters?

    Need f.ex to open a page in incognito mode.
    I was able to open incognito mode with Start - Run: chrome.exe "http://nagios.com/" --incognito

    I would also like to enter username/password automatically if it is possible, although i doubt that i can pass credentials to the chrome.exe or iexplore.exe process when the script runs

    All of this is for a monitoring computer we have, that I want to start automatically and log in to the monitoring webpages we have

    Hi Cesar,

    Thanks for the post. If you want to log on a website with username and password, you can check the below similar thread:

    Found out today I could use -ArgumentList parameter to pass application specific parameters when opening chrome

    Start-Process -FilePath chrome.exe -ArgumentList "http://website.com --incognito --new-window"

    I'll check out Elaine's post on how to automatically log in with passwords in websites from Powershell. If I can make it work, it would be excellent!

    You will have to ask Chrome questions in the correct Google forum.
