Most of you would like to check your favorite website as soon as login in to your Windows laptop or PC. One easy way is to the URL and quickly get into the site from bookmarks bar. Besides bookmarking it is also possible to launch your favorite website from by creating a desktop shortcut. Once the shortcut is created, you can visit your favorite site just by double clicking on it. Let’s see how we can do this using Google Chrome. Creating Desktop Shortcut from Chrome All you have to do is just follow the simple steps given below:. Start Google Chrome and open your favorite site which you like to create a desktop shortcut.
This used to work perfectly just a few months ago, but now that “open in new window” option is gone. It’s now called “create shortcut” rather than “add to desktop” as well. There are no options there, so whatever you intend to happen doesn’t matter: what happens is that the site is opened in a new window (as the second tab for some reason?! The first tab is just a “new tab” and the link comes up in the second, which seems awkward and messy) but the new window is now nested with the general Chrome windows on the task bar instead of having its own icon, kind of destroying the whole point of me having separate icons for various websites (dictionaries and translation corpora mostly) in my task bar and adding extra clicks just to navigate around.
Incredibly frustrating! All my old shortcuts work fantastically but the Chrome people have decided that was too much of a good thing. “Why continue giving the people a choice when we could, you know, simply take that away from them?” Grrrr!!
