Windows 7 Jumplists
A
new feature that in Windows 7 is "Jump Lists"
These allow you to quickly access files and shortcuts to documents, webpages etc.. before you even open the program.
There are 2 ways to access jumplists
Traditionally you would access jump lists by right clicking on a programs icon in the task bar and up pops the jump list.
The other way to do this is
1. Left clicking and holding the icon in the taskbar
2. Slide your mouse/cursor upwards, your jump list will now slide up.
Why would anyone want to do it this (second) way?
Since Windows 7 is going to be used by touch screen users, if you think about it, that is a convenient way to get to them if you don't have a mouse.
