I'm going to drip-drip-drip the steps in do-able, um, drips. Admittedly, if you need to navigate with File Explorer through folders named “program files” and “program files (x86)”, it can get a little confusing at times.īut you don't need to work through all that. If the words “executable file” or “program” sound complicated to you, don’t worry. To get started and create your Google Chrome desktop icon you first need locate where the executable file (the actual program) is situated on your computer. While I’m at it I’ll also explain how to add your own Google Chrome icon to your start menu and your taskbar, so you know how to get a Chrome icon there as well should you be interested.įurthermore, I’ll also be dealing with creating a Chrome desktop shortcut that takes you directly to a specific website or web page when you click it.

I am open to any solutions : paid, software, scripts etc.Luckily the answer is easy and in this article I’m going to show you step by step how to create your desktop icon for Google Chrome. Tldr: I am looking for a solution to automatically upload a desktop screenshot to a remote server (or some other way to see the desktop without manually connecting). I searched around and there are many windows programs that take screenshots, but nothing that offers exactly what I am looking for. I am also interested in other solutions for how to force kiosk mode, but that is for another question. I would be open to a 3rd party management solution to preview the desktops for my ~150 TeamViewer connections.Ĭurrently the only way for me to check is to manually open up a TeamViewer session on each of my kiosks one at a time to see what the screen is displaying. TeamVeiwer doesn't provide any sort of solution for this. If they aren't connected to the internet I can tell that via TeamViewer, but if they aren't in kiosk mode I have no visibility.

That way, I can then view the last desktop screen of every PC.

What I am interested in is some sort of automated solution that can upload the screen captures of the desktop periodically to a remote server. Once they click that the tool bar opens up and they click around to escape the kiosk mode. Our website is not displayed, and a user can click the Running Network Diagnostics button in chrome as seen in the image. The problem arises when the kiosk reboots and the internet is disconnected. They are programmed to open Chrome on reboot. They are supposed to have a Google Chrome full screen in kiosk mode, to allow the user to interact with the kiosk (and prevent access to the desktop). They are all separate installations, geographically dispersed around the country.The kiosks are all running windows 7 with a touch screen. We have Teamviewer installed on every machine.
