When I edit the shortcut and then click on the modified target, it successfully opens up the app launcher, but once I right-click and choose pin to taskbar, windows then instead pins a chrome shortcut to the taskbar and when I click on it, it opens the chrome browser and not the app launcher. I can pin the modified shortcut to the taskbar, but then it opens the app launcher in a new icon on the taskbar which disappears once the app launcher is closed.
Lighthouse is a marvelous tool for testing the quality of your web apps. A robust module for launching Chrome was developed within Lighthouse and is now extracted for standalone use. The chrome-launcher NPM module will find where Chrome is installed, set up a debug instance, launch the browser, and kill it when your program is done. Best part is that it works cross-platform thanks to Node!
Google Chrome App Launcher Windows
Once the app launcher is removed, users will be able to access Chrome apps either from bookmarks bar or by simply typing chrome://apps in the omnibox. If you happen to own a Chromebook, you don't have to worry about anything. Google has said that the app launcher will continue to be there on Chrome OS.
In a CI environment like Travis, Chrome may not be installed. If you want to use chrome-launcher, Travis can install Chrome at run time with an addon. Alternatively, you can also install Chrome using the download-chrome.sh script.
I would greatly appreciate it if you can point to the location where google is keeping those app launchers. I have looked for them in the hidden folders as well as Google folders in /Library but I have had no luck. 2ff7e9595c
