The exception is File Explorer, where most of the 25 are pinned items: folders I access regularly.Ĭollectively these jump lists are very, very useful. Most have about 15 files 'pinned', with the remaining links being projects I am currently working on.

The software apps that I use this many files for are File Explorer, Access, PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Publisher, Adobe Acrobat, Notepad, Outlook, and Calibre. Over time I have expanded my jump list files to 25 per software item pinned to my taskbar. So if we have Word pinned to our task bar, then a right-click on the Word icon will open all the Word shortcuts that we have permanently pinned, in addition to those that we have opened recently, up to a fixed number. They are great for items that you use regularly, as they are available right on our desktops. This will be welcomed news for devs and consumers as it means any legacy app that has this functionality built-in will work in Windows 10 when the feature arrives.If you don't know what 'jump lists' are, they are a right-click list of files linked from a programme pinned to your task bar that we can select and shortcut to. The Jump Lists work with any compatible app, so for developers, there is no new coding that needs to be done. This feature adds a small bit of functionality to the Start menu but if you incorrectly modify your Registry, you can corrupt your install of Windows 10. If the above information does not make sense to you or you do not feel comfortable tweaking your registry, it's best to wait this one out.

Navigate to: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced".

With that being said, you can follow the directions below to enable the functionality. Seeing that this functionality can be enabled in Windows 10, this leads us to believe that it may be coming in a future build, but it may not be quite ready yet for Insiders. Unfortunately, in the first few builds that were released to Insiders, the Start menu did not have this feature but thanks to a Registry tweak, you can bring this functionality back.įor clarity, Jump Lists work in the taskbar without this Registry tweak but when you add the Dword value below, Jump Lists can now be opened inside the Start menu.

Several years ago, Microsoft created a feature for power users called Jump Lists and with the return of the Start menu in Windows 10, many assumed that this feature would be present too.
