Windows – How to view all items pinned to a program’s jump list on Windows 10

windows 10windows-explorer

Is there any location where I can see all the pinned items on a jump list? For example, if I pin a bunch of locations to the remote desktop app, can I view the whole list in explorer?

EDIT:
Let's say I have links of sites pinned to chrome (MUST work with any application, not just chrome), How would I extract the contents of the pinned sites of the jump list? I'm looking for a native or script way to do this, but software is fine too.

Per this post you can get to them through shell:Recent\AutomaticDestinations and Shell:Recent\CustomDestinations.

The post also has batch files to export and import.

I confirmed this works exporting from Windows 8.1 and importing to Windows 10. Note however that Windows 10 limits the number of pinned items when you could change this in Windows 8.1.

When you increase the size of a jumplist, the number of pinnable items on that jumplist increases accordingly. To increase the size of all jumplists (and thereby increase the maximum number of pinnable items):

Open regedit
Browse to the following key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Add a new DWORD (32-bit) entry named JumpListItems_Maximum
Set the value of JumpListItems_Maximum to the number of items you want to see in your jumplists (e.g., 19 (if hex) or 25 (if decimal))

Alternatively, you can make the registry change by saving the following text into a file named jumpList.reg and then importing it into the registry using File > Import... within regedit:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"JumpListItems_Maximum"=dword:00000017

Sometimes the change takes effect immediately, but if not, don't forget to restart/new login!
