Excuse me for the quadruple post: If anyone has tried to overwrite an existing jump list with their own custom one, can you please tell me the app you were customizing, and whether or not your custom jump list worked? It would help greatly so I can determine how to lock jump lists. Some programs behave way differently, here.

Known failed cases:

* Google Chrome 4.1 (does 12.0 have a jump list?)

* foobar2000 with Win7 Shell Integration

* Windows Live Mail 10?

* Opera 11

Known working cases:

* IE9

* Firefox 4

* Windows Live Mail 11

Hi,

I installed and tested the v0.3-B with no problem whatsoever (Win7 x64), the thing is... I tend to ALSO use the recent file history already featured in the jump lists. As I see, it is a known issue of your program : do you think it will be possible to combine both aspects (like part tasks and shortcuts, part recent history) in a future release, or is it not possible at all ?

(To retrieve my history, I simply unpinned and pinned again the programs, and the lists reappeared)

Thanks anyway, and good work ! It's a great utility script.

Ooops, I've just seen that you no longer work on this... Too bad !

Jumplist Extender v0.4 is released!

Download v0.4 (1.6 MB)

Version 0.4 is a MINOR BUG FIX release.

FIXED:

  • Command line tasks and EXE shortcuts were being executed with the wrong working directory.
  • Jumplist Packs could not be imported because the "AppData\...\Icons\Imported" folder was missing.

ADDED:

  • Keystrokes can now be sent to minimized/background windows without activating them.

KNOWN ISSUES:

@toweleeie: Yes, it's possible to combine custom jump lists and recent histories -- I just haven't implemented them. Look forward to a release in the future! Also, you can delete the jump lists under the "Open a previous jump list" window in order to get your recent history back.

DigiMarco! This is a fantastic idea!

Is there any way it could be used to fix the Windows 7 Explorer Frequent/Recent bug outlined here:

Basically once you disable history and reenable, Explorer forgets it is supposed to be Frequent and will only show Recent from then on. The articles describe the API required to switch between Frequent and Recent as well.

    • WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview

      By Copernic · Posted

WACUP key features: Classic Winamp Feel – Keeps the familiar interface and functionality.

Better Library Management – Improved playlists, media organization, and search. No Bloat – Focuses on performance without unnecessary extras. Regular Updates – Community-driven development with new features and fixes. WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.
