    Jump List History location?


    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:
    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.

    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
