How to start Chrome with pinned tabs
Useful tip for Chrome users:
You can change the Chrome shortcut so that when the browser starts, it automatically loads with specific 'pinned' tabs. For example, I like to have Google Reader, and GMail loaded as pinned tabs (i.e. small tabs that are always on the right) whenever I open Chrome.
To do this, add the following to the target field in your your Chrome shortcut properties: --pinned-tab-count=2 <URL1> <URL2>
e.g. C:\Users\test\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --pinned-tab-count=2 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news http://www.google.com/reader/view/
Note: Change the --pinned-tab-count= to the number of URLs you are listing.
UPDATE (26 Feb 2010): The latest developer version of Chrome has removed pinned tabs. Hopefully they'll be re-introduced in a later build!
