make edge inprivate everywhere

how do i make it edge start inprivate everywhere?

for example, when I click on something on another program and it asks what program to open this link with. i want to click use edge every time but only if it does inprivate every time.

Try this
Right-click your Microsoft Edge shortcut and select “Properties.” On the Shortcut tab, add -inprivate to the end of the Target box. That's a space, one dash, and then “inprivate”.
-inprivate without the quotes Click “OK” to save your changes. Then edge should always open In Private mode when you launch it from this shortcut

That's just for the shortcut...

I already know how to do that. My question was not about just for a shortcut.

if you right click on your edge icon on the taskbar and then right click where it says Microsoft Edge
And select properties



And change the default target
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --profile-directory=Default
Remove --profile-directory=Default
To Remember to leave a space -inprivate
So it looks like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" -inprivate

Your browser will always start in private mode

I don't have Edge pinned to my taskbar and anyway that would only change it for the taskbar pinned icon I think?

Yes that would be for the taskbar icon

You could do this by clicking on START - In the start list - Right click on Microsoft Edge
And select MORE and click on OPEN FILE LOCATION and right click on Microsoft Edge
Select Properties and change the link Target to
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" -inprivate



And the edge browser should always load in private mode

that's just the start menu

Hi,
Shouldn't that be mschredge

If you add mschredge or mschredge.exe it will give an error - or gives the error

msedge.exe works fine

Perhaps I should note I'm using windows 10 Home 2004
