    Because of the lack of a start menu (which I'm ok with) I've pinned a lot of common folders to the Windows Explorer jumplist, such as Documents, Pictures, Music, Downloads, and Computer.

    The problem is the default jumplist capacity is pretty small, so after a lot of pinning you see little or no recent folders in your list. Here's how to increase the capacity:

    1. Right-click on the taskbar, select Properties
    2. Click the Jump Lists tab
    3. Increase the capacity via the option at the top (I set it to 15).
    4. Voila!
    Here's a screenshot:

    Hope this helps somebody, it really helped me :)

    That's cool. I knew how to extend the number of jump list items, but hadn't thought of pinning Windows Explorer locations - that works really well for me, because I am always moving files around and stuff.

    Nice little tip! I'd never have thought of doing that :)

    Thanks guys! Glad you liked the guide :) I actually didn't think it was that good of a tip, I thought most people knew how to do this to be honest.
