How to add jump list items on Windows 10 and 11

Jump lists on Windows provide easy access to recent files. If you want to add jump list items on Windows, this tutorial will help you get started.

Jump Lists on Windows 10 and Windows 11 allow easy access to recently used files, folders, and websites. However, you may want to display more than the 10 most recent items that Windows displays by default.

You can make Windows display more items in the jump list by adjusting the registry. For example, you can set it to display about 15-20 items, which will display well on most monitors.

This tutorial will show you how to add jump list items on Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Add Jump List Items on Windows

We will show you how to add Jump List Items on Windows 10. However, the process is the same on Windows 11.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Before we begin, it is important to emphasize that this technique requires you to modify the registry. Beginners shouldn't do this, as entering the wrong value can make your PC unstable or stop working altogether. Before proceeding, back up the registry, create a restore point, or create a full system backup.

With backup, you can restore your system if something goes wrong.

Add a jump list item on Windows:

1. Use the keyboard shortcut Windows key RStart "Run" Dialog box.
2. Type regedit and click OK.
3. When Registry Editor opens, navigate to the following path:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

   

4. Right-click the Advanced key and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
5. Name the new DWORD value JumpListItems_Maximum.
6. Double-click JumpListItems_Maximum and change the Base value to Decimal.
7. Enter the number of jump list items to display in the Numerical Data box. Usually, 15-20 is a good value. You can go higher if you want, but you may need to scroll up to see all items.
8. Click OK when finished.
9. Exit Registry Editor. You don't need to log out or restart your PC. Instead, click on your jump list and you'll see the number of new items you entered in the registry.
