How to open jupyter notebook from Windows 10 task bar

Question

Through some wizardry I cannot recall, I managed to install and implement Jupyter Notebook with an icon that opens Jupyter directly in browser

I am occasionally asked how I did this. However, and slightly emparisingly, I cannot remember how I did this and am unable to help. I cannot seem to recreate this Jupyter Icon in any other set up

Also, in attempting to recreate this Icon, I somehow managed to implement two Anaconda Prompts, Anaconda PowerShell Prompt and Anaconda Prompt

What is the difference between the two? Which one should I remove?

Answer 1

Search for Anaconda Navigator in your computer then Right Click and Select "Open file location".

In the folder that is opened you can find shortcuts of programs that are installed via anaconda. You can copy and paste them anywhere you want.

Answer 2

I somehow managed to implement two Anaconda Prompts, Anaconda PowerShell Prompt and Anaconda Prompt

That is standard. The first Anaconda Prompt , will open the legacy cmd configured for conda . The second will open a powershell configured for conda . SO just keep both and use the one you are more comfortable with.
