To pin a website to the taskbar on Windows (e.g., Windows 10 or Windows 11), follow these steps depending on your browser:

Using Google Chrome:

  1. Open Chrome and go to the website you want to pin.
  2. Click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner.
  3. Go to "Save and Share" and select "Create shortcut."
  4. In the popup, you can rename the shortcut and optionally check "Open as window" to open it in a separate window.
  5. Click "Create." This creates a shortcut on your desktop.
  6. Right-click the shortcut on your desktop and click "Pin to taskbar."

Using Microsoft Edge:

  1. Open Edge and navigate to the website.
  2. Click the three dots menu icon at the top-right corner.
  3. Choose "More tools" and then "Pin to taskbar."
  4. Confirm the pin if prompted, and the icon will appear on your taskbar.

This method works directly without needing a desktop shortcut, and the pinned website will open in Edge.

Notes:

  • Firefox requires a bit more manual setup by editing shortcut properties.
  • Pinning a website provides quick access to it from your taskbar like an app shortcut.

This process allows quick launching of your favorite websites directly from the Windows taskbar with a click.
