How to add a shortcut to open Timeline from desktop context menu on Windows 10

You can add an option to open Timeline using the context menu from the desktop. Here's how.

On Windows 10, Task View is an experience designed to help you organize apps and create virtual desktops to multitask more efficiently. Using this feature, you can see and quickly switch between your running applications or jump to a different virtual desktop.

Starting with Windows 10 April 2018 Update (version 1803), Task View also gives you access to your Timeline activities, to pick up tasks where you left off on apps you were working in the past — on your computer or other devices, including iOS and Android devices.

While you can access the experience using a dedicated button in the taskbar, you can also add an option to the context menu to open Timeline from the desktop.

In this Windows 10 guide, we walk you through the steps to modify the Registry to add a new context menu option to access your Timeline, part of Task View, and running applications by right-clicking the desktop.
