Hello everyone,

I love browsers (especially Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome), and I love to bookmark but I don’t like the “bookmark bar”. Bookmark bars take up space and I don’t like where they are located regardless of whether they are on the side, top, or bottom of the window.

Today I would like to show you how to add a great little bookmark button to the Chrome browser toolbar. Then, all you have to do is just click on this button and you will be able to access your bookmarks from a drop down menu. How cool is that?

Follow these three simple steps:

1) Right click on the Chrome shortcut icon

2) Choose “Properties”

3) In the “Target” box after the “chrome.exe” leave a space and then type – -bookmark-menu (see photo). That’s “space, dash, dash, bookmark, dash, menu”

4) The resulting “Target” string will point to:

C\Users\Your Name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe - -bookmark-menu

You’re done! Now every time you bookmark a site in your Chrome browser you can access that site via the new drop down menu button on the toolbar. Enjoy!
