How to pin more than 3 contacts to the taskbar on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

Do you want to pin more than just three contacts to your taskbar? No problem. Here's how to do it.

The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update introduces a new feature called My People, that allows you to pin your favorite contacts directly to the taskbar for quick and easy access to instant messaging services, email, contact details and more. Unfortunately, Microsoft imposed a limit of just three contacts that can be pinned to the taskbar, which just isn't enough for some people.

If you're one of those people longing for more pinable contacts, you've come to the right place. The three-people limit isn't fixed and can be adjusted via a simple Registry edit. As always, fiddling around with the Registry can be dangerous, so you should proceed with caution if you're not already familiar with the Windows Registry.

Step No. 1: Open the Windows Registry

First, you need to open the Windows Registry to be able to edit the values necessary to increase the number of people you can pin to the taskbar.

1. Right-click on the Windows Start button.

   

2. Select Run.

3. In the Run dialog box, type "regedit."

   

4. Select OK.
