How to Add a Google Shortcut on Your Desktop

Tired of opening up an Internet browser and going to Google.com just to use its search engine? Fret no more since, now, you can add the Google search engine site as a shortcut on your desktop in a few easy steps. Across different web browsers, the process differs a bit but generally achieves the same effect.

Using Google Chrome

2.Type in www.google.com in the address bar. Hit Enter after typing, and you will be taken to the Google Search home page.

3.Click on the Options menu. The icon is three horizontal lines stacked up located at the upper-right corner of the browser. A small window will appear, and you will see the Tools menu.

4.Click on “Tools.” This will show an extended menu with the option to “Create Application Shortcut.”

5.Click on “Create Application Shortcut.” A window will appear asking you to configure where the shortcut will be placed.
