CHROME: ADD YOUR FAVORITE WEB PAGE TO YOUR DESKTOP

Everyone has a favorite web site that they visit often.  Whether it's the Mid-East web page or Progress Book, you want to be able to access it fast.  Google's Chrome allows you to create application shortcuts for your favorite web pages that can be added directly to your desktop, start menu or your taskbar, letting you jump from your desktop to a web page with just one click.

Navigate to your favorite web page.

Click the wrench  icon in the right corner of the screen

Go to Tools/Create Application Shortcuts

From the dialogue box, choose whether you want the shortcut to appear on your Desktop, in your Start Menu or Pinned to your Taskbar.

Click create and your shortcut will appear.

It's worth pointing out that pages opened using shortcuts are stripped of the traditional navigation tools including a browser bar.

You can, however, click the top left corner of the screen and select Open Browser Window to open a new window in Chrome.
