how many People icons are allowed to appear—up to ten.) If one

of the lucky names appears in the Suggested list, select it;
otherwise, hit “Find and pin contacts,” use the search box to find
the person’s name, and choose it. That special someone’s icon now
appears on the taskbar.

Tip

To remove that icon from the taskbar, right-click it and choose “Unpin from taskbar.”

Repeat the process until you’ve got all your best people pinned to

the taskbar.

If you do this “Find and pin contacts” business beyond three times
(or whatever number you’ve chosen in Settings), the main People

panel fills up (“overflows”) with the additional names. Keep going
and the panel actually scrolls to accommodate as many My People
as you like.

Note

If someone you’ve pinned to the taskbar sends you an emoji via Skype, it pops right
up on your taskbar as a giant, if somewhat mystifying, graphic (and sound). It hovers
and animates for five seconds before disappearing.

Use your My People. When you want to contact one of these
special people, click his icon. You get choices like Mail, Skype,
and People. (The Mail and Skype commands appear here only if

you have, in fact, set up Mail and/or Skype.)

If you choose People, you get access to this person’s full card—
phone numbers, mailing addresses, recent conversations, and so

on.
