How to Put Your Favorite Websites on Your Desktop, Taskbar, or Start Menu<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Note: This tip was written for the Chrome browser on Windows 10 and Windows 11. We\u2019ve also added instructions for Microsoft Edge.\u00a0\u00a0If you\u2019re using Firefox, IE, Opera, Brave, or other browsers, you can drag the URL from the address bar 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, or 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\u2026\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 \u2013 but you can leave the names as they are or change them to whatever you want by right-clicking on the file and choosing \u201cRename\u201d.\u00a0 BONUS MINI-TIP!\u00a0 if you want a fast, easy way to rename a file or folder, highlight it and press the F2 key.<\/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

\"Cloudeight<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve added\u00a0Cloudeight InfoAve Tips & Tricks<\/a><\/span> website 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 \u201cPin to Start\u201d 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

\"Cloudeight<\/span><\/p>\n

And here is Cloudeight InfoAve Tips and Tricks website<\/a> on the Windows 11 Start Menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cloudeight<\/span><\/p>\n

And don’t forget you can easily move the icons around the start menu to get them in the order you want them in simply by dragging and dropping.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re using Edge on Windows 10 or Windows 11 you can do this. Click on the 3-horizontal dots “hamburger” icon in the top right corner of Edge. Scroll down the menu that appears and click “More tools”. You can then select “Pin to taskbar” or “Pin to Start”.<\/span><\/p>\n
