How To Quickly Create A Desktop Shortcut Of A Web Site In Google Chrome

Few days ago we wrote an article on creating desktop shortcuts of a web site using IE and Firefox. Here is a similar trick for Google Chrome Browser to create desktop shortcuts easily

Open Google Chrome browser and browse to the page that you want to create a short cut
Resize the browser so that you can see both desktop and browser
Drag and drop the bookmark icon on the left of the address bar on your desktop. The shortcut will be created.

It does work in Chrome for MAC – just figured out how…. You save the shortcut in one of your bookmarks folder. Then open the bookmarks folder and drag and drop to the desktop from there!

Enjoy!

This is handy, but…The shortcuts I made opened in IE (my default browser).
