Windows Jump Lists

Jump lists are another new feature in Windows 7. When you right-click a taskbar icon, Windows displays a jump list that contains menu items for commonly-used tasks for the program and quick access to recently-used documents.

Jump lists are a Windows feature, rather than an application feature, so you’ll get a jump list for a program even if it wasn’t written speci?cally to use the jump list. However, program developers can modify the jump list, so programs that are written specically to do so will likely provide additional options in the jump list menu.
