Get Chrome apps in Windows Start Menu to open them faster

Chrome Apps on Start Menu of Windows:

Chrome apps like Google Drive, YouTube, Gmail, Web Store are just direct links that direct you to the corresponding website when you click on them.

In order to make use them  faster, you can also pin them on your Windows Start Menu. Let's see how;

Go to New Tab page, make Right click on any of the app that you want to pin, Select Create Shortcuts option from context menu. You can also get other useful preferences including the link target when you open the app (regular or pinned tab, window, or full screen).



When you select Create Shortcut option from the context menu, a new prompt pops up. Prompt gives you three choices to place the app either on the Desktop or Start Menu or Pin to Taskbar. Choose the option where you want to create a shortcut of the app, then Click on Create button. Note that the option Pin to Taskbar is not available for Windows XP.



You'll find a new folder in your start menu named as Chromium Apps, contains  the app shortcuts that you pinned.




Note that the feature is available for all web browsers.
