How do I put QB on the task bar in order to start the program?

The Community has you covered, @johnasullivan7.

Since QuickBooks Online is a browser-based program, there's no way to launch it directly from your Windows PC task bar. However, with Google Chrome, you can create a website shortcut that can be launched this way to expedite your log-in process:

Create a Desktop Shortcut for QuickBooks Online

1. Open your browser, sign in to QuickBooks Online, and shrink the window so that the Desktop can be seen behind it.
2. To the left of the URL address bar, you'll see either a QuickBooks icon, a Lock icon 🔒, or an ⓘ.
3. Drag whichever icon you see to your Desktop to create a shortcut.

We also offer a guide on creating a QBO desktop shortcut for your benefit. Please keep in touch with me here if there's anything else you need, I want to make sure you're taken care of. Thanks for coming to the Community, wishing you and your business great success in all that you do.

Open up QB online then go to settings and click get desktop app.
