在Windows 10 Fall Creators Update中,微软(Microsoft)引入了许多新功能。从生产力的角度来看(productivity standpoint),最有趣的一个是您可以将联系人固定到任务栏和开始菜单(Start Menu)。这使您可以更轻松、更快捷地与生活中最重要的人保持联系。它们现在只需单击或点击即可发送电子邮件和Skype消息。以下是将人员固定到Windows 10 中的任务栏或开始菜单的方法:(Start Menu)
注意:(NOTE:)本指南适用于 Windows 10 Fall Creators Update。从 2017 年10 月 17(October 17th)日起,此版本可供所有人免费使用。
如何在Windows 10中将联系人固定到“(Windows 10)开始”菜单(Start Menu)
Windows 10中的“开始”菜单(Start Menu)允许您将各种内容固定到其中,包括应用程序、桌面程序、文件夹和库、本地网络中的设备等。您可以在本指南中阅读有关如何固定这些类型项目的更多信息:在Windows 10中将所有内容固定到“(Windows 10)开始”菜单(Start Menu)的完整指南。
此外,在Fall Creators Update中,您还可以从人员(People)中心固定联系人。首先,您必须打开“人(People)脉”应用程序。您可以通过单击或点击“开始”菜单(Start Menu)应用列表中的“人员(People)”快捷方式来执行此操作。
您还可以通过使用Cortana搜索来打开人(People)脉应用。在任务栏的搜索栏中(search bar)输入(Enter)单词“人员”,然后单击或点击搜索结果列表中的人员(People)。
打开“人(People)脉”应用程序后,滚动直到找到要固定到“开始”菜单(Start Menu)的联系人。
请注意,您还可以使用内置的搜索功能(search function)来查找您想要的联系人。一旦您开始在“搜索”(Search)字段中输入联系人的姓名,匹配的人就会立即被应用程序列出。
找到要固定到“开始”菜单(Start Menu)的联系人后,右键单击(或点击并按住(tap and hold),如果您有触摸屏),将显示上下文菜单。在其中,您会找到一个名为“Pin to Start”的选项。("Pin to Start.")单击或点击它。
Windows 10 现在询问您是否确定“[...] 想要将此磁贴固定到开始”("[...] want to pin this tile to Start")。按是(Yes)按钮确认您的操作。
现在该联系人在您的Start Menu上获得了它的磁贴。这是默认情况下的样子:
您可以继续将任意数量的联系人固定到“开始”菜单(Start Menu),因为他们的数量没有最大限制。还值得注意的是,“开始”菜单(Start Menu)中的人物磁贴默认为中等(Medium)(方形)大小。但是,您可以根据需要调整它们的大小,并根据需要将它们设为小、宽(Small, Wide)甚至大(Large)。如果您不知道该怎么做,这里是如何在(How)Windows 10中调整开始菜单(Start Menu)磁贴和快捷方式的大小。
如何从“开始”菜单中取消固定联系人(Start Menu)
如果您不想再将某人固定在您的开始菜单(Start Menu)上,您只需打开开始菜单(Start Menu),找到该联系人,右键单击(如果您有触摸屏,则点击并按住(tap and hold)它),然后选择“从开始取消固定”("Unpin from Start")选项。
然后立即删除开始菜单(Start Menu)中的联系人磁贴。
现在让我们看看如何将人们固定到任务栏,因为有些用户更喜欢在他们的任务栏上而不是开始菜单(Start Menu)上显示所有重要的东西。有两种方法可以做到这一点:一种是使用“人(People)脉”应用程序,另一种是使用“我的人(My People)脉”中心。
如何使用“人脉”应用将联系人固定到任务栏(People app)
如果您更喜欢使用“人(People)脉”应用程序,请按照本指南上一部分中的第一步打开它并找到要固定到任务栏的联系人。然后,右键单击(或点击并按住(tap and hold),如果您有触摸屏),然后在显示的上下文菜单中,单击或点击(click or tap)Pin to taskbar。
单击或点击固定到任务栏(Pin to Taskbar)后,Windows 10 会询问您是否确定“[...] 要将联系人固定到任务栏”("[...] you want to pin a contact to the taskbar")。通过单击或点击Pin按钮确认您的操作。
然后,该联系人会在通知区域(或系统托盘(system tray),如果您愿意)的左侧获得一个小按钮。
您可以继续将任意数量的人固定到任务栏,但请注意,一次只能在任务栏上显示最后三个人(only the last three of them can be displayed on the taskbar at a time)。
如何使用“我的人”中心将联系人固定到任务栏(My People hub)
如果您更喜欢使用新的“我的人(My People)脉”中心将联系人固定到您的任务栏,则应按照我们在本教程最后一节中描述的步骤操作:您可以在Windows 10中使用“(Windows 10)我(My People hub)的人脉”中心执行的 5 件事。但是,如果您没有时间这样做,您将不得不采取的快速步骤如下:
通过单击或点击任务栏右侧通知区域旁边的按钮打开“我的人”中心。(My People)它看起来像两个剪影。
在“我的人”(My People)中心,如果要固定到任务栏的联系人显示在“人(People)”选项卡的“固定建议”("Pin suggested")列表中,单击或点击(click or tap)其名称,他或她会立即固定到任务栏。
如果您要固定到任务栏的人未显示在建议(suggested)列表中,请单击或点击“人员(People)”选项卡底部的“查找并固定联系人”("Find and pin contacts")按钮。
现在,将显示所有联系人的完整列表。滚动(Scroll)直到找到要固定到任务栏的那个。
您还可以使用搜索字段(search field)来查找要固定到任务栏的人。
找到联系人后,单击或点击(click or tap)他或她的姓名,该人将立即固定在任务栏上。这是您现在应该看到的:
但是,不要忘记您只能在任务栏上固定三个联系人。
如何从任务栏中取消固定联系人
从任务栏中取消固定联系人的最快方法是右键单击(如果您有触摸屏,则点击并按住其图标),然后单击或点击“从任务栏取消固定”("Unpin from taskbar")按钮。
另一种方法是单击或点击(click or tap)联系人,然后单击或点击(click or tap)菜单(Menu)按钮(具有三个点的图标),然后选择“从任务栏取消固定”。("Unpin from taskbar.")
联系人将从您的任务栏中删除,无需任何额外确认。
结论
如您所见,将联系人固定到“开始”菜单(Start Menu)或任务栏都很容易。我们喜欢这个新功能,我们相信当您必须定期与相同的少数人交流时,它有助于提高工作效率。如果您有任何疑问或问题,请使用下面的评论部分进行分享。
How to pin contacts to the taskbar or to the Start Menu of Windows 10
In Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, Micrоsoft intrоduces many new features. One of the most іnteresting ones, from a рroductivity ѕtandpoint, is the fact that you can pіn contacts to the taskbar and the Start Menu. That makes it easier and faster for you to keep in touch with the people who matter most in your life. They are now just one click or tap away, for sending both emails and Skype messages. Here is how to pin people to the taskbar or the Start Menu in Windows 10:
NOTE: This guide applies to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. This version is available to everyone, for free, starting October 17th, 2017.
How to pin contacts to the Start Menu in Windows 10
The Start Menu in Windows 10 allows you to pin all kinds of things to it, including apps, desktop programs, folders and libraries, devices from your local network and so on. You can read more about how to pin these types of items in this guide: The complete guide to pinning everything to the Start Menu in Windows 10.
Additionally, in Fall Creators Update, you can also pin contacts from the People hub. To start, you must open the People app. You can do that by clicking or tapping on the People shortcut from your Start Menu apps list.
You can also open the People app by searching for it using Cortana. Enter the word "people" in the search bar from your taskbar and then click or tap People in the list of search results.
Once you have opened the People app, scroll until you find the contact that you want to pin to the Start Menu.
Note that you can also use the built-in search function to find the contact you want. Once you start entering the contact's name in the Search field, the people who match are immediately listed by the app.
Once you find the contact that you want to pin to your Start Menu, right-click (or tap and hold, if you have a touchscreen) on it, and a contextual menu is displayed. In it, you will find an option that is called "Pin to Start." Click or tap on it.
Windows 10 asks you now if you are sure that you "[...] want to pin this tile to Start". Confirm your action by pressing the Yes button.
Now that contact gets its tile on your Start Menu. This is what it looks like by default:
You can continue to pin as many contacts you want to your Start Menu, as there is no maximum limit on their number. It is also worth noting that people tiles from the Start Menu have a Medium (square) size by default. However, you can resize them as you prefer and make them Small, Wide or even Large if you like. If you do not know how to do that, here is How to resize Start Menu tiles and shortcuts in Windows 10.
How to unpin contacts from your Start Menu
If you no longer want to keep someone pinned to your Start Menu, all you have to do is open the Start Menu, find that contact, right-click (or tap and hold on it if you have a touchscreen), and then choose the "Unpin from Start" option.
The contact's tile from your Start Menu is then immediately removed.
Now let's see how to pin people to the taskbar because some users prefer having everything that matters on their taskbar instead of the Start Menu. There are two ways to do that: one by using the People app and one by using the My People hub.
How to pin contacts to the taskbar, using the People app
If you prefer using the People app, follow the first steps from the previous section of this guide to open it and find the contact that you want to pin to your taskbar. Then, right-click (or tap and hold, if you have a touchscreen) on it and, in the contextual menu that is displayed, click or tap on Pin to taskbar.
After you click or tap on Pin to Taskbar, Windows 10 asks you if you are sure that "[...] you want to pin a contact to the taskbar". Confirm your action by clicking or tapping on the Pin button.
Then, that contact gets a small button on the left side of your notifications area (or system tray if you prefer).
You can continue to pin as many people you want to your taskbar, but note that only the last three of them can be displayed on the taskbar at a time.
How to pin contacts to the taskbar, using the My People hub
If you prefer using the new My People hub to pin contacts to your taskbar, you should follow the steps we described in the last section of this tutorial: 5 things you can do with the My People hub from Windows 10. However, if you do not have the time to do that, the quick steps you will have to make are these:
Open the My People hub by clicking or tapping on its button from the right side of your taskbar, next to the notifications area. It looks like two silhouettes.
In the My People hub, if the contact you want to pin to the taskbar is displayed in the "Pin suggested" list from the People tab, click or tap on its name and he or she is instantly pinned to the taskbar.
If the person you want to pin to the taskbar is not shown in the suggested list, click or tap on the "Find and pin contacts" button found at the bottom of the People tab.
Now, the complete list of all your contacts is displayed. Scroll until you find the one you want to be pinned to the taskbar.
You can also use the search field to find the person who you want to pin to the taskbar.
Once you find the contact, click or tap on his or her name and that person is immediately pinned to the taskbar. This is what you should see now:
However, do not forget that you can pin only three contacts on your taskbar.
How to unpin contacts from your taskbar
The fastest way to unpin a contact from your taskbar is to right-click (or tap and hold on its icon if you have a touchscreen) and then click or tap on the "Unpin from taskbar" button.
An alternative is to click or tap on the contact, then click or tap on the Menu button (the one that has an icon with three dots), and then choose "Unpin from taskbar."
The contact is removed from your taskbar without any additional confirmation.
Conclusion
As you have seen, pinning contacts to your Start Menu or your taskbar are both easy things to do. We like this new feature, and we believe that it helps boost productivity when you have to communicate with the same few people regularly.
