In Windows 10, the “People” icon appeared on the taskbar, by going into it you can add up to three of your contacts to the bar and exchange messages with them. In today’s article, we’ll look at how to get around this limitation and pin more than three contacts to the taskbar in Windows 10.
People is a special toolbar on the taskbar that displays icons for pinned contacts. You can add contacts to this panel from mail, Skype, or the People application. After adding them to the panel, you can quickly send them a message or the necessary files.
It is recommended that you create a system restore point before editing the registry.
1. Open the registry editor: in the search bar or in the run menu (run by pressing the Win + R keys) enter the command regedit and press the Enter key.
2. Follow the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Explorer Advanced People. Click on the People section with the right mouse button and select “New” => DWORD Parameter (32 bit) => name the parameter TaskbarCapacity
3. Open the parameter TaskbarCapacity, in the “Value” field, enter how many contacts you want to pin to the taskbar and click “OK”. For example, I want to pin 10 contacts to the taskbar, which means that in the “Value” field you need to enter 10 and click “OK”.
4.Restart File Explorer or restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
Now you can pin the number of contacts to the taskbar that you entered in the TaskbarCapacity parameter. That’s all for today, if you know other methods or you have additions – write in the comments! Good luck ?
