Incognito mode availability

Specifies whether the user may open pages in Incognito mode in Google Chrome.

If 'Enabled' is selected or the policy is left unset, pages may be opened in Incognito mode.

If 'Disabled' is selected, pages may not be opened in Incognito mode.

If 'Forced' is selected, pages may be opened ONLY in Incognito mode. Note that 'Forced' does not work for Android-on-Chrome

Note: On iOS, if the policy is changed during a session, it will only take effect on relaunch.

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 family
