 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.

+### 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. 
+
+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 .
+5.	Look for a property labeled `AppUserModelID` or `DesktopApplicationLinkPath`.

 Organizations might want to deploy a customized Start and taskbar configuration to devices running Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Education. A standard, customized Start layout can be useful on devices that are common to multiple users and devices that are locked down for specialized purposes. Configuring the taskbar allows the organization to pin useful apps for their employees and to remove apps that are pinned by default.
