Hello and Good Evening Everyone,

          Using a link given to lifewire.com from a previously closed post, I learned the steps for creating a shortcut within Google Chrome.  However, the shortcut went into the taskbar area as opposed to the desktop.  That said, I am wondering how I might get the shortcut within the taskbar moved to the desktop.  The setup being used in this project is an Acer Chromebook C720 Series Model ZHN running Chrome OS.

            Thank you

how can I get a self-created shortcut within the taskbar moved to the desktop using an Acer Chromebook running Chrome OS?

Chrome OS is an operating system based on the Linux kernel and designed to work with web applications and installed applications. Initially, Chrome OS was almost a pure web thin client operating system, with only a handful of "native" applications, but Google gradually began encouraging developers to create "packaged applications", some of which can work offline. App Runtime for Chrome (beta) enables Android applications to run on Chrome OS. Chrome OS is built upon the open source project called Chromium OS which, unlike Chrome OS, can be compiled from the downloaded source code; Chrome OS is the commercial version installed on specific hardware.

Google Chrome OS

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
