Loss of extra options on right clicking a taskbar icon?

My problem here is quite simple, well the problem is, not to sure on the solution...

Basically, I like to have icons to my most used programs pined to the taskbar, as you do, and when I right click one of these icons, I'm usually presented with a list of many extra options related to the program. Well on my desktop, these extra options seem to have dissappeared?

For example, Google Chrome on my Netbook:




But on my desktop:

?

So, does anyone know how to get the extra options back?
Cheers

They are called Jump Lists, start by checking this:

Right click on start orb and click on Properties. Click on Start Menu tab, and see if the box below is checked.

CCleaner cause this if you used a one of its options, "Taskbar Jump Lists" I think. Anyways it always seems to cause jumplist to stop working for a while.

Yes, I agree with logicearth, as Jump Lists do use history, and CCleaner will delete same. Good answer, and glad it's fixed for you. A Guy
