I thought I would share a simple method I used that requires no 3rd party software, just a few steps.
- Copy shortcut to chrome on your desktop
- Make as many copies of shortcut as there are profiles you need to pin
- (Optional) Name each copy the name of each profile
- Create a folder anywhere and move all of them into it (I created folder called "Profiles" in the C root)
- Now go into the properties of each shortcut and add the trigger to your profile
Example:
- Shortcut 1 - "C:\Users<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\Application\chrome.exe" --profile-directory="Default"
- Shortcut 2 - "C:\Users<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\Application\chrome.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 1"
- Shortcut 3 - "C:\Users<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\Application\chrome.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 2"
And so on...
- (optional) You can change each shortcut so they look different on taskbar or match your profile image (see screenshot)
- Right click desktop and go to New > Toolbar and browse to the folder where your shortcuts are located and add it
- From here that is it, you have all the profiles individually on the taskbar. I Removed all text and moved it to the left side of the taskbar and have all my icons small. Of course you don't get jumplist but I personally don't use them for chrome so it works for me :)
