Haven't tested this yet but I believe you! Would be nice to find what line can also prevent the taskbar icon (if possible). Thanks S.Lee, brilliant, for me this should do the trick as I remove all Taskbar icons with GP anyway so our users don't see the chrome taskbar icon anyway, but I'm aware of it.The steps and visual given below are for WinXp. Dear Friends, I am giving below the steps to put the shortcut link of a program into the startup folder of Windows, so that the program auto starts each time Windows is started. Visual Step by Step Guide to put shortcut of a program into the Startup folder.Click and drag the shortcut that appears to the preferred location on the desktop. Locate an app and then click and drag it to the desktop, as with the item called “Link” shown. To create a new shortcut, first click the Start button on the taskbar.Once the file location is open you can create a shortcut to the Chrome exe and move it to your desktop and pin it to the Taskbar again.
If you go to the Metro UI and Right Click on the Google Chrome tile, at the bottom of the window one of the options is open file location.
