Change the Number of Jump List Items in Windows 7

Here is a quick tip for Windows 7 users who want to change the amount of items in Jump Lists. Jump Lists are small context menus for the Windows 7 taskbar that can show information such as recent documents.

By default Windows 7 can hold an maximum of 10 items in Jump Lists but can easily be changed by right clicking on the Windows Orb (Start Menu) and clicking properties. A click on the customize button in the right upper corner will open the menu where the recent items setting can be changed.

The entry “Number of recent items to be displayed in Jump Lists” controls the amount of items that are displayed in the jump lists. It can be increased or decreased to suite the user’s needs. A click on the ok button will save the changes.
