Windows 10 provides many useful tools to ease the access of a PC and many other things. Today, we will learn how to access the websites that are important to you quickly. And Windows 10 allows you to do the same through the Start menu and the taskbar. All you have to do is to pin the websites that you have to access quickly. Let’s see how you can pin a website in the taskbar on Windows 10.
Google Chrome
To add a website on the taskbar using Google Chrome, Chrome will need some extra menus compared to other browsers, but overall, the process will be easy for you. Follow the below steps to do so.
First, you have to launch Google Chrome on your PC and then visit the website to add to your taskbar.
You have to locate the three-dot menu on the Chrome situated in the upper right corner and hit on it.
As the menu opens, you have to click on the More Tools option then hit on the option called Create a Shortcut.
Now a pop-up window will open for creating a shortcut of that particular site. If you want, you can change the shortcut name and also enable the box if you have to access the site through a new window. Finally, you have to hit the Create button in blue color, and the shortcut will be added directly to the desktop.
From the desktop, you can pin the shortcut to the taskbar. You can also pin the shortcut to the taskbar by right-clicking on the shortcut and selecting the Pin to Taskbar option.
