Chrome User-specific Desktop Shortcut
How can I create multiple Google Chrome desktop shortcuts, each leading to a different account?
(All accounts are signed in).
Update (credit to @bdoserror)
- Go to Chrome settings (Click 3 dot stack in upper right, then Settings).
Click Chrome name and picture
- Turn on Show desktop shortcut
- Toggle Show desktop shortcut off.
- Wait until the shortcut disappears from your desktop.
- Turn Show desktop shortcut back on. Observe the new shortcut is created on your desktop..
Edit 2020-May-15: This no longer works.
The profile system has been updated sometime before Chrome version 75. In these versions, first activate the profile for which you want to make a shortcut. Then go to:
- Settings
- Chrome name and picture
- turn on Show desktop shortcut
Return to your desktop view, and see the new profile activation icon.
