How do I make my main Chrome profile a shorcut like other profiles?
Chrome can make profiles. And each new profile it makes you have an option to make a shortcut on your desktop. Why am I not given this option for the main profile I use?
A common problem I have is if I forget to check which profile I am in and have to restart my computer for an update (thanks Windows), I have the hardest time remembering and finding my main profile again because whenever I click the main Chrome app it opens the profile that is not my main.
Ideally, if I can make a shorcut, then I wouldn't have to search around for the main profile again. Unless there is a way to make the main profile priority no matter what profile was last opened?

1. Open Chrome and click the profile badge in the upper-right corner of the window on the title barI totally forgot about this option. Ha! I am on my Windows machine now. Not sure why Mac settings are so different. Oh well.
2. Click “Switch person” on the popup dialog box.
I tried John's and Shums' comments and either will work for me. I will use the switch person option for the meantime.
Thank you for the update and I was happy to help.
