Getting Chrome to open an `.html` file in a new window

Question

Every time I double-click an .html file on my computer, Chrome opens it in a new tab in the most-recently-used window. I don't like that. I want it to open a new window.

Is there a way to do that?

Answer 1

I guess you could use javascript to open the page in new window on load of the page. http://www.gtalbot.org/BugzillaSection/Bug195867GDR_WindowOpen.html

Answer 2

My only thought would be to create a program to pass to google chrome with the --new-window argument, and have that program's icon set as chrome?

Answer 3

See Force Chrome to open new pages in new window, not tab? (when opened from a program)

Answer 4

Control Panel -> Folder Options -> File Types -> HTML -> Advanced -> open -> Edit -> Replace -- with --new-window -> Ok all the way back.
