[Win7] Jumplist Extender - Add jumplists to any program! (RELEASE 0.4)


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
