When 10 entries are not enough - in Office 2019 or 365 (Part 2 :-)

 A few years ago I offered the solution for Windows 10 in general, to add more items to the jumplist (menu which shows the last used files in a program, opened by a right click on the symbol n the taskbar).

A while ago newer Microsoft Office versions (probably also Office 2016) didn't show more than 10 items, despite what was set/changed with the first tip about this issue.

These days I found the solution to raise the number of items after about one year, and here is how:

You have to add this three new DWORD32 values in the registry, which have to be placed in the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced.
And they are named JumpListItems_Maximum, Start_JumpListItems and EnableXamlJumpView.
Set the first two on a value you like for the number of items which you want to find in your taskbar, and set EnableXamlJumpView to 1.
It isn't necessary to restart anything, after you made the changes and saved the next document in your Office application, the jumplist shows the desired number of items !

Have better success with your Windows machine :-)

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 !
