Windows 7: Jump List History location?

2bn2b · 26 Jun 2009

Hello again

,

there is something confusing me about the new 'Jump List', and to explain that i made following screenshots:

As you see on this screenshot, Paint stores a list of recently accessed files in the Jump List and in the Registry under:

Quote:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Paint\Recent File List

But even after deleting the Registry Key above, the History in the Jump List does not go away

as in this screenshot:

The same thing applies for : Wordpad, Media Player and IE's Frequent List...

I just want to know where are those "Jump List" History-Lists stored?

Thanks.

Alan

It's quite a while ago since you asked, but when searching for a similar problem I happened to stumble across both this question and the answer.

Have a look here: Developing for the Windows 7 Taskbar ? Jump into Jump Lists ? Part 2 - Windows 7 for Developers - The Windows Blog

The answer is in the second part, "Step 1". It uses the standard recent functionality, which consists of a folder full of shortcuts. I found two folders, one general and one for Office:
%user%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent
%user%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office\Recent
