SOFTWARE TIP OF THE WEEK

Windows 7 Adding Jump Lists to Your Taskbar

Jump Lists are made up of recently opened items, tasks, or websites, and other items that were pinned to your taskbar. They provide a fast and easy way to access these frequently used tasks and are located on the task bar and in the start menu.

To view the Jump List for a program
– Right-click
the program’s button on the taskbar.

To open an item from a Jump List
-Open
the program’s Jump List, and then click the item.

To pin an item to a Jump List
– Open the program’s Jump List, point to the item, click the pushpin icon, and then click Pin to this list. You can also drag a file icon to the taskbar and drop it on the program.
Example: Sknight_timesheet is on the desktop. You can drag it to the Word icon on the taskbar. The document will now appear on the Jump List for Word.
