Additional Option

To make it easier to get to the desired web page, create a favorite on the Bookmarks bar in Chrome when you are have the page pulled up in IE Tab. This will allow the user to connect to the web page using IE Tab without needing to click on the IE Tab icon each time.

To create the shortcut in the Bookmarks bar:

1. Click on the star next to Chrome’s target bar.

2. Enter in a meaningful name and select Bookmarks bar.

 

NOTE:    The bookmark will have the IE Tab icon to the left of the bookmark name. This icon is different from the other normal Chrome bookmark icons.

 

3. Click Done.

 

NOTE:    If the Bookmarks bar is not turned on in Chrome, press Ctrl + Shift + B to turn it on.
