I've got the most recent version of Mountain Lion installed, as well as the most recent version of Chrome.
When I've got Chrome set as the default browser, and if I close out all the tabs before I quit Chrome itself, if I click on an external link (e.g., from within an e-mail, Tweetbot, etc.), two Chrome windows launch—one with Google (my set homepage) and one with the target of the link.
Not closing out all the tabs before I quit Chrome does the trick, but what specifically could be causing this?

cmd+, check the On startup option there. You can disable it from there too.

I just want Google Chrome to automatically launch itself when I log into my win 10 session. Is that possible ? I saw a LOT of people wanting to disable this behavior on some systems, but none who tried to actually enable it, so couldn't find a solution yet.

Windows 10 has a startup folder in the Start Menu in which you can drop shortcuts to applications you want to start automatically.
In previous versions of Windows it was pretty easy to find but Windows 10 has made it a little more difficult.
There is also a special mode called kiosk mode that will limit Windows to a single program. This is usually used for public access terminals.

How to add or remove startup apps in Windows 10
Startup items for the current user are stored usually at two locations: the Registry and the special 'Startup' folder. The Startup folder is an easier way to manage apps. To add or remove an app from the Startup folder, you need to do the following:

The text above is a special shell command which will open the Startup folder for you directly.
The Startup folder is located here:
Just copy and paste a shortcut in this folder so that the app loads when Windows boots. To remove the application from the Startup folder, delete the appropriate shortcut.
