Windows 7 makes it very easy to retrieve recently opened files, using the new Jump List feature as shown in the picture.

To do this, follow the instruction below:

  • Right-click the icon in the Taskbar containing the file you want to open, and it brings up a list of recently opened files.
  • Click the file you want to open. If files are not listed by right-clicking the Taskbar icon, the program does not support this feature.
  • See our Jump List definition for further information and related links on this term.
