Jump Lists Explained<\/h1>\n

This tip applies to Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jump Lists is a feature which first appeared in Windows 7, and has been carried over to Windows 8 and Windows 10. Jump List are one of our favorite features, but hardly anyone uses them… or even knows they exist.<\/p>\n

Jump Lists are handy because they show recently used files for an application or tasks related to that application, and let you access them quickly. Jump Lists can be accessed by right-clicking on an application\u2019s icon in the Windows task bar.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s another way to access Jump Lists too. As with most things in Windows there are always 2, 3 or more ways to accomplish the same result. Jump Lists can also be accessed by left clicking an application icon while holding down the right- mouse button and dragging the icon upwards. You\u2019ll notice that the more you drag icon upwards the less transparent the Jump List becomes.<\/p>\n

Whether you right-click to access your applications Jump List, or your left-click and hold down the right mouse button while dragging the application\u2019s icon upwards, Jump Lists are a great way to access the most recent tasks you\u2019ve performed with an application. If you access your browser\u2019s Jump List, you can see your most recently viewed pages and pin the pages you most often visit — a great way to go straight to your favorite page or pages, without opening your browser first.<\/p>\n
