When 12 entries are not enough ...

In case you like to use the jumplist (the list of the last used files in a Software like the Windows Explorer; you find it by clicking on the symbol of a runing program in the Task bar), and want to have more then 12 entries Windows 10, then: you have to make a change in the Windows registry.

  • Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
  • In the left tree view navigate to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
  • In the right area of the editor make a right click to get the context menu and add a new DWORD (32 Bit)
  • Name it JumpListItems_Maximum
  • Give the new entry the DECIMAL (not HEX !) value you want. I suggest to use not to many, 20 seems to be a good choice :-)
  • Now you can Close the editor.

And that's it !
From this moment on you see the number of entries you set for this function.

Hope it's a useful for you as I find it !
