Another new feature that appeared in Windows 7 was ” Jump Lists ” They allow you to quickly access files and shortcuts to documents, webpages etc.. before you even open the program.
If your not entirely sure of what they are, John did a great article on Jump lists that you can find here
A Jump List
I love using jump lists and they are really handy for me, traditionally you would access jump lists by right clicking on a programs icon in the task bar and this would pop up the jump list. Well now I have a new way of doing it that I’d like to share with you.
Some of you may know this already but some may not – you can access jump lists by:
- Left clicking and holding the icon in the taskbar
- Slide your mouse/cursor upwards, your jump list will now slide up.
I like to call this the ” Swoosh Effect ” While this may not be a massive time saver, I think it’s a more fluid motion than the regular way of right clicking.
I’ve made a quick video showing how to do this on my own site which I’ve inserted below
Hope you find this helpful
