How to create a shortcut for each profile on Chrome:
- Login to the profile you wish to create a profile for (left click on the current profile name at the top right of the browser and follow your nose)
- Hit the customize and control button in the top right hand corner (3 horizontal lines)
- Settings
- People
- Double click on the profile you want to create a shortcut for which is labeled as 'current'
- Choose a picture (or photo) so you can identify which profile shortcut is which.
- Click on the 'Add desktop shortcut' button << money shot
You can now drag the shortcuts onto the quick launch bar.
