    How did I do it??


    I am running Chrome on my main desktop and while I was playing around with the themes etc in Outlook I got Outlook set as the tab that always opens first (automatically) when I hit Chrome on my taskbar and frankly I quite like the set up because naturally I head straight for emails anyway.
    But I cannot remember how I did it and trying last night on my travel laptop I could not find what I did so anyone got any ideas on what I did??

    NB I have Googled many times and subjects on this but no results.

    Maybe you did it this way?

    Internet Website Shortcut - Create

    OPTION THREE
    To Manually Create a Internet Website Shortcut to Open in Any Web Browser

    Shortcut can be pinned to taskbar.

    Personally I like a right click context menu shortcut.

    Add SevenForums shortcut to context menu

    You could use the sane method to create an Outlook shortcut for Chrome.

    Note: I don't actually use Chrome.

    Also Iron has a settings page that allows the user to open a tab or set of tabs. I assume that Chrome is the same.
