chrome.exe command line parameters for kiosk mode

I'm using chrome.exe version: 29.0.1547.66 m on a w7 pc. I'd like to use command line parameters like --kiosk from the command prompt when starting chrome. I found a list of switches here: http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

When I type in: chrome.exe --kiosk http://somesite.com Chrome starts, it opens up the specified url, but not in kiosk mode.

It seems to ignore the --kiosk command. If I try --help as a flag, it gets ignored as well.

Is this supported on chrome.exe on windows? Should the commandline interface be enabled first somehow? Any thoughts? Thanx in advance, Paul

--chrome-frame worked for me:

"c:\progra~2\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --chrome-frame --kiosk http://foldoc.org/pub/misc/automata.html

Problem solved ... also thanks to the post of ComFreek .... problem was about running instances of chrome. As soon as I closed all running chrome instances before invoking chrome, the commandline options started to work.
