Hello @aakash-shah,

Here is a script to enable the bookmark bar and add a bookmark to Chrome on Windows devices:

#Enable bookmark bar and add bookmarks in chrome

$registryPath = 'HKLM:\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome'
$enableBookmarkBar  = 1 #set as 0 to disable it.


if(-not(Test-Path $registryPath)) 
    {
        New-Item -Path $registryPath -Force | Out-Null 
    }
#setting BookmarkBarEnabled registry name
Set-ItemProperty -Path $registryPath -Name BookmarkBarEnabled -Value $enableBookmarkBar -Force | Out-Null
Write-Host "Chrome policy key created and bookmark bar enabled."

#add required bookmarks
$bookmarkJson = '[
    {
     "toplevel_name": "My managed bookmarks folder"
    },
    {
     "name": "Google",
     "url": "google.com"
    },
    {
     "name": "Youtube",
     "url": "youtube.com"
    },
    {
     "children": [
      {
       "name": "Chromium",
       "url": "chromium.org"
      },
      {
       "name": "Chromium Developers",
       "url": "dev.chromium.org"
      }
     ],
     "name": "Chrome links"
    }
   ]'
 
Set-ItemProperty -Path $registryPath -Name ManagedBookmarks -Value $bookmarkJson -Force | Out-Null
Write-Host "ManagedBookmarks registry key created and bookmarks added."
