Taskbar Shortcut

I have a Dell i5 Win10 Pro.

I loaded the Google Chrome portable. I had relative ease in getting a tile on Start Menu. But I have tried everyway, (had pc's since the last millenium. I'm old) and I can't find a way to get chrome on taskbar to stay. I've tried every door, backdoor, elevator and ladder and I can't find a way to get it to stick .. or even make it to the Taskbar. Oh, for the old days where you could drag an icon to the Taskbar. Am I dreaming or did we have those days. Anyway, how can I get portable Google Chrome on the Taskbar, if there is a way.

And thank you very much for consideration and help. Jack ":-\\

Platform

You can pin it via the PA.c Platform using right-click Pin to Taskbar. Unfortunately, a second icon will appear while it is running. Google uses a unique app id on each Windows PC and I haven't had the time to dive into where it's calculated the way I did for Firefox and Thunderbird.

Note that right-clicking the Chrome icon in the taskbar when Chrome Portable is running and pinning it to the taskbar will not work correctly and cause it to run in local mode saving stuff to APPDATA

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
