Visual Studio > Google Chrome : open new window instead of new tab


I know this is a bit of a late update, but I found a better way than with a registry hack.

When selecting browse with in visual studio you can set up a new shortcut to Chrome with arguments to open in a new window. (based on lysergic-acid's answer)

Not sure if this is the solution you're looking for, as it's pretty "violent".

Basically, the technique is to replace how the windows shell is opening a new http link in the browser.

Under the registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command

You need to change the command that will look similar to this:"C:\Users\Lior\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -- "%1"

into this:

"C:\Users\Lior\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --new-window "%1"
