I have a laptop that my family uses, and I use this too. I have multiple chrome accounts and I want to have a shortcut on my desktop that opens my chrome with my accounts and a shortcut that has theirs. I have both shortcuts on the task bar but I'd like my chrome to have its shortcut on my desktop. It's not like I'm trying to hide anything, but I use this for school and I don't want them editing my bookmarks, extensions or anything. The main chrome shortcut directs to the family account but I'd like an additional shortcut in a folder of chrome that uses my account. I have an account that is used as a chrome user with a different account signed with the chrome user storing passwords while i use the different account for accounts made on websites. I basically don't know how to make a shortcut from the taskbar to the desktop.
