No Jumplists

Cheemag,

Did you enable the search index to see if it works afterwards? It may take a bit after opening recent items for them to show you though.

I'll do that now.

I go along with this! Correct me if I'm wrong but, SearchIndexer Process and Indexing service are two different animals. At any rate, when indexing of Internet History is added back into Search Indexer options, you will get two additional processes that pop in and out of Task Manager when surfing the net. It may be the same for recent file lists of the Start Menu etc.. but I've never noticed it until now. I do know one thing, adding back Internet History has fixed two issues that have plagued me for some time which I could not fix nor could the fine folks here at Seven when asked

1) As mentioned, IE8 jumplists returned

2) When closing out and IE8 session, one of the IE8 processes would remain for about an extra one minute before it would stop.

Firefox does that, and if you try to restart it before the process terminates you get an error message.

Haven't used Firefox in Win 7 yet and probably won't. On my XP boot, I still use Firefox although it's a very, very old version that I will not update.

You don't know what you're missing. The latest version is brilliant.

Did you ever get your jumplists working?

No, still no jumplists. They are just not implemented. I've never had jumplists on this machine.

Yes, I did it yesterday or the day before.

I now have a 'Recent Places' in my open file dialogue for UltraEdit which I didn't have before. Is this what is meant by a Jump List ?

I only have one appropriate programme (UltraEdit) pinned at the moment. My word processor (Atlantis) doesn't have a Recent Places, nor has any other apporopriate application as far as I can tell.

Yep, that would be a jump list. You would only have items display in the jump list if you had opened them. You can read more details about it at the tutorial below to help though.

Right, thanks. I'll have a look at the tutorial.

We'll now call this thread solved.

Thanks to all who responded.

You're most welcome Cheemag. I'm glad that we were able to help. :)
