How to Put Your Favorite Websites On Your Desktop, Taskbar or Start Menu<\/h1>\n

This tip was written for the Chrome browser on Windows 10 (any version).\u00a0 We’ve also added instructions for Microsoft Edge users.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span>If you\u2019re using Firefox, IE, Opera or other browsers,\u00a0 you can drag the URL from the Address bar on any browser to your desktop.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

If you use Chrome and you\u2019d like to put a shortcut on your desktop or taskbar to Facebook, Gmail, Outlook.com, Twitter, Cloudeight InfoAve\u00a0or any of your favorite sites, it\u2019s super easy to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Chrome, visit the site you want to create a shortcut to. Click on the settings icon (3 vertical dots) at the top right corner of Chrome.\u00a0 Click \u201cMore tools\u201d then click \u201cCreate shortcut…\u201d. That\u2019s it!<\/span><\/p>\n

For this tip, I\u2019ve added three of the sites I visit most often: Outlook.com, Gmail and Cloudeight InfoAve\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

And there they are. I named them as I wanted – but you can leave the names as they are or change them to whatever you want by right-clicking on the file and choosing “Rename”.\u00a0 (Listen… do you want to know a secret? if you want fast , easy way to rename a file or folder, highlight it and press the F2 key.)<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Now if I want any of those shortcuts on my taskbar, all I have to do is right-click on one and choose \u201cAdd to taskbar\u201d.\u00a0 See?<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve added\u00a0Cloudeight InfoAve Tips & Tricks<\/a>\u00a0web site and the Gmail account I used most to my taskbar. It\u2019s quick and easy. Try it! You can also right-click on the shortcut and choose “Pin to Start” which pins the shortcut to your Windows 10 Start menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is our InfoAve site on my Windows 10 Start menu.<\/span><\/p>\n
