This looks very interesting, thank you :)

I had the wrong idea, at first, I though it was a utility to add items to existing jump lists. However, I can definitely see a use for this.

Having the ability to use multiple instances could prove useful...

i did finally manage to get one item in the jumplist, but the icon was wrong...

I should have done some Unit-tests maybe :)
I'll check the reasons behind this behaviour when I'm at home.

Updated the top post.

Now up to 60 folders/apps/files possible!

More info here:

@sisiphus:
I had a closer look to microsofts documentation of the taskbar-features but couldn't find anything useful.
Is it always gone after rebooting?

when running jumplistlauncher from a flash drive, when i push "create jumplist" i get this error:

Code: 
Zugriffsverletzung beiAdresse0O4062B7 in Modul
JumplistLauncher.exe. Lesen von Adresse FFFFFFFF.

it runs ok from my system drive, but it never uses the icon i tell it to - it always uses the folder.ico

running 7229

Ah, I'll try to reproduce the error when I'm at home.

Could you tell me 2 files (including directories) whose icons don't show up like they should?
Changing the icon doesn't work as well, right?

The error is likely to be in my function,where I get associated icons.

If we can't figure out the error this way I'll implement a debug-mode.

well...jumplist doesn´t disapear anymore after log off or restart...good job.
But i think number of jump-list itens of 'Jumplist Launcher' should be independent from number of recent itens to display in jump lists of windows...i had zero itens to display in recent itens of windows, now i must have 12(there are the number of itens of 'Jumplist Launcher') in recent itens of windows so that 'Jumplist Launcher' works correctly.
If you could correct this, that will be great.
Thanks

Strange thing is I didn't change anything about that in version 2.

In the RC (build 7100) that's impossible because Micro$oft unified both attributes.
I dunno about newer builds.
In the beta it was handled differently as far as I can remember.

Great app, just wish I could have categories with my recent items option disabled. I'm forced to use the tasklist mode to prevent jumplist clutter in places I don't want it. Can't wait for the next update :)

I'm trying to do the following: Create a shortcut to virtual box with an attribute so I can launch a specific virtual machine instead of dealing with the gui.

However anytime I try to add that shortcut to the jumplist launcher I get an error. Not sure what the error is but it appears to say something bout location not found.

I get the following error whenever I try to create a jump list with this tool:

"Couldn't create the Jumplist. Please wait for the next update to fix this issue!"

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 version. I also notice that the Max.Jumplist Items is greyed out with a default setting of 1 and it doesn't allow me to change it. So not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I agree. Then, you could develop a better program the right way.
