How To Access Windows 7 Jump Lists A Different Way

29 October 2009 View Comments

Among the many new features that arrived with Windows 7, Jump lists was another one of these great little features.

Those of you who are familiar with Windows 7 will know what they are.

Jump lists are like little shortcuts for opening up files or webpages, they are traditionally accessed by right clicking on a programs icon in the taskbar, you will then be displayed with a list of recently accessed files/webpages ( depending on the program ) as well as some preset options ( ie. For iTunes, the jump list will give you an option to go straight to the iTunes store or to search it ) You can also pin certain items to jump lists that you use regularly for quick access.

An alternative way to access jump lists is to:

  1. Left click and hold the icon in the taskbar
  2. Then slide your mouse upwards, and the jump list will slide up.

I like to call this the “Swoosh Effect” I’ve made a short video
