Add Webpage URL to Windows Taskbar

Question

Add Webpage URL to Windows Taskbar

IntuneUser 176

I would like to add a WebPage URL to Windows taskbar.
I have across Microsoft's article for the same : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/start-layout-xml-desktop
However, there are a lot of other settings too in the sample XML provided.
I would just like to have, let's say "http://www.bing.com/" added to my Windows taskbar.

I want something similar like this : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/configure-windows-10-taskbar#Keep%20default%20apps%20and%20add%20your%20own
But, instead of an entire application I would like to add a webpage URL to the taskbar.

Please help me in configuring the XML as described.

@IntuneUser , Thanks for posting in Q&A. From your description, I know you want to add a WebPage URL to Windows taskbar

Based on my research, I only find the way to pin the website to taskbar. When I try to export the layout, I find the taskbar is not included As we are not familiar with this, we have added the tag "windows-10-general" to see if any windows support can be involved to help on this.

Hi there,

To add a website to the ‘Taskbar’ with Google Chrome, navigate to the website that you want to add. Next, click on the ellipsis near the top-right corner, hover the cursor over ‘More tools’ in the drop-down menu, and then select ‘Create shortcut’ from the menu that appears.

The shortcut will be added to the desktop. Head over to the desktop, right-click on the ‘Shortcut’, and select the ‘Pin to taskbar’ option from the context menu.

In Windows 11, ‘Create shortcut’ has moved from 'More tools' to 'Save & share' on the ellipsis menu. I needed this solution to place my Outlook.com calendar onto my task bar because Microsoft 365 now excludes Outlook and the '[New] Outlook" icon starts with a fresh calendar obliterating all my calendar entries from the icon for the Outlook calendar that came with my paid Office 365 subscription.
