# Configure Windows 10 taskbar
Starting in Windows 10, version 1607, administrators can pin additional apps to the taskbar and remove default pinned apps from the taskbar by adding a `<TaskbarLayout>` section to a layout modification XML file. This method never removes user-pinned apps from the taskbar.

> The only aspect of the taskbar that can currently be configured by the layout modification XML file is the layout.
You can specify different taskbar configurations based on device locale and region. There is no limit on the number of apps that you can pin. You specify apps using the [Application User Model ID (AUMID)](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=614867) or Desktop Application Link Path (the local path to the application).
If you specify an app to be pinned that is not installed on the computer, it won't appear on the taskbar.
If you specify an app to be pinned that is not provisioned for the user on the computer, the pinned icon won't appear on the taskbar.
The order of apps in the xml file dictates order of apps on taskbar from left to right, to the right of any existing apps pinned by user.

> [!NOTE]
> In operating systems configured to use a right-to-left language, the taskbar order will be reversed.
The following example shows how apps will be pinned: Windows default apps to the left (blue circle), apps pinned by the user in the center (orange triangle), and apps that you pin using XML to the right (green square).

To configure the taskbar:
1. Create the XML file.
* If you are also [customizing the Start layout](customize-and-export-start-layout.md), use `Export-StartLayout` to create the XML, and then add the `<CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>` section from the following sample to the file.
* If you are only configuring the taskbar, use the following sample to create a layout modification XML file.
* If you are only configuring the taskbar, use the following sample to create a layout-modification XML file.
2. Edit and save the XML file. You can use [AUMID](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=614867) or Desktop Application Link Path to identify the apps to pin to the taskbar.
* Use `<taskbar:UWA>` and [AUMID](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=614867) to pin Universal Windows Platform apps.
* Use `<taskbar:DesktopApp>` and Desktop Application Link Path to pin desktop applications.
3. Apply the layout modification XML file to devices using [Group Policy](customize-windows-10-start-screens-by-using-group-policy.md) or a [provisioning package created in Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (Windows ICD)](customize-windows-10-start-screens-by-using-provisioning-packages-and-icd.md).

>If you use a provisioning package to configure the taskbar, your configuration will be reapplied each time the explorer.exe process restarts. If your configuration pins an app and the user unpins that app, the user's change will be overwritten the next time the configuration is applied. To apply a taskbar configuration and allow users to make changes that will persist, apply your configuration by using Group Policy.

### Tips for finding AUMID and Desktop Application Link Path
In the layout modification XML file, you will need to add entries for applications in the XML markup. In order to pin an application, you need either its AUMID or Desktop Application Link Path.
In the layout-modification XML file, you will need to add entries for applications in the XML markup. In order to pin an application, you need either its AUMID or Desktop Application Link Path.
The easiest way to find this data for an application is to:
1. Pin the application to the Start menu

2. Open Windows PowerShell and run the `Export-StartLayout` cmdlet.
3. Open the generated XML file.
4. Look for an entry corresponding to the app you pinned .
