Opening a Chrome page on login is a convenient way to jumpstart your browsing experience. Whether it’s your favorite website, a productivity tool, or a news source, having Chrome automatically open a specific page when you log in can save you time and effort. In this article, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of setting up Chrome to open a specific page on login.

Step 1: Creating a Shortcut

The first step is to create a shortcut to the website or page you want Chrome to open on login. Here’s how:

  1. Open Google Chrome and navigate to the website or page you want to open on login.
  2. Click on the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner of the browser window.
  3. Hover over the “More tools” option in the dropdown menu and select “Create shortcut”.
  4. A dialog box will appear asking if you want to create a shortcut on the desktop. Check the box and click “Create”.
  5. Now, you will have a shortcut on your desktop that opens the desired page in Chrome.

Step 2: Configuring Chrome Startup Settings

Now that you have the shortcut ready, let’s configure Chrome to open the desired page on login:

  1. Right-click on the shortcut icon on your desktop and select “Properties” from the context menu.
  2. In the “Target” field, you will see the path to the Chrome executable followed by a space. Add the URL of the page you want to open after the space. For example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" https://www.example.com
  3. Click “OK” to save the changes.

Step 3: Adding the Shortcut to Startup

Now that you have configured the Chrome shortcut, it’s time to add it to the Windows startup folder:

  1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
  2. Type shell:startup and press Enter. This will open the Startup folder.
  3. Drag and drop the Chrome shortcut from your desktop into the Startup folder.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily set up Chrome to open a specific page on login. This can be a great timesaver, especially if you have a favorite website or a tool that you use every day. Enjoy the convenience of having your desired page open automatically as soon as you log in to your computer!
