I’ve just stumbled across this great little program called “Piles”. What it does is places recently created or altered files in a Windows 7 jump list on the Windows Taskbar so you can quickly access them.
How many times have you downloaded a program or just finished working on a document and then you need to open it up again. You then have to go and navigate through all the directories until you find that file, but with “Piles” it automatically adds the most recent files to a jump list on your taskbar so you can access them in seconds.
After installing Piles for the first time you will get a new icon in your taskbar which is by default linked to your “MyDocuments” folder, so any changes that you make to files in the folder will automatically be added to the jump list.
You can make your own custom target directory by right clicking on the icon and point it to a new directory. Say for instance you point it to the “Download” directory, every time you download a new file it will automatically be added to that jump list for super quick access, saving you from rummaging around your computers hard drive until you find it.
It’s a great little program, and best of all it’s completely free! You can download it here
