One of the ways you can make Windows work for you better is to let you directly open a website from your Windows 10 taskbar. Here is a simple way you may do it. You don’t even need to launch your browser for that first.
Add Address Bar to Taskbar
Right-click on your Windows taskbar and unlock it. Again, right-click and select Toolbars. The entries for Address and other options should become visible to you. Choose Address and you should see the address bar appear on your taskbar.
It is similar to the Search bar on the Start menu. Type in a website address in the text box and hit ‘Enter. ‘ This will launch your browser and navigate you to the website whose address you’ve entered.
Using this address bar, you can launch URLs and applications as you would through the Windows Start Menu Search Bar. For example, simply type msconfig and hit enter to open the System Configuration dialog box.
Using this way, you can also add Touch Keyboard, Links and other toolbars to the Windows Taskbar.
