Versionshistorie
Version 7:
- Es kann nun ein Standard-Eintrag ausgewählt werden, der bei einem Linksklick auf das Superbar-Icon
geöffnet wird. In dem Fall wird der Jumplist ein Eintrag hinzugefügt um das Konfigurationsfenster
des Jumplist-Launchers öffnen zu können - Die Oberfläche wurde erneut überarbeitet (vielen Dank an Heiko Eckendorf für das Konzept)
- Der Fehler, dass einige Leute keine Jumplist (oder Tasklist) erstellen können ist nun endlich behoben
Version 6:
- Jedem Element können jetzt Parameter hinzugefügt werden (macht natürlich nur bei ausführbaren Dateien Sinn)
- per Drag’n'Drop eingefügte Verknüpfungen werden nun aufgelöst. Das schließt ihre Parameter mit ein
- Wenn ein Icon nicht mehr vorhanden ist wird es gegen ein Standard-Icon ersetzt
- Die Oberfläche und der Workflow beim Einfügen von Dateien wurden überarbeitet
- Leute die vorher nicht die Max. Anzahl der Jumplist-Items anpassen konnte, sollten dies nun tun können
Version 5:
- Die Gruppen und Einträge können nun per Drag’n'Drop verschoben werden
- Beim Löschen in der Liste geraten die Icons nicht mehr durcheinander
- Beim hinzufügen von Dateien über den Dateibrowser wird nun das korrekte Icon übernommen
Version 4:
- Man kann nun optional statt der normalen Jumpliste eine Aufgabenliste erzeugen. Diese hat den Vorteil, dass die maximale Anzahl ihrer Einträge nicht an der, der zuletzt verwendeten Dateien gebunden ist. Leider scheint es aber keine Einstellung zu geben bei der man festlegt wie viele Tasklisten-Einträge es maximal geben soll
- das teilweise seltsame Verhalten wenn man Einträge im Treeview hoch und runter bewegt (z.B. Dateien werden zu Gruppen) wurde behoben
- man kann nun mehrere Einträge gleichzeitig nach oben und unten bewegen
- Wenn der icons-Ordner nicht existiert wird er erschaffen (das behebt den “Datei “…\iconInfo.dat” kann nicht erstellt werden.” Fehler)
Version 3:
- Ab sofort kann man eine Datei (leider keine Ordner) auch ohne direktes Starten des Jumplist-Launchers in die Liste aufnehmen. Dazu zieht man die Datei einfach auf das Symbol in der Taskleiste und hält beim loslassen die Shift-Taste gedrückt
- die Icons von Ordnern können verändert werden
- ein Fehler wurde behoben durch den die Icons durcheinander geraten sind wenn man einen Ordner gelöscht hat
- Der “Fehler beim Holen der Daten…” wird nicht mehr auftreten, stattdessen wird das
- Setzen der Anzahl der maximalen Jumplist-Einträge einfach deaktiviert
Version 2:
- bis zu 60 (bisher 10) mögliche Jumplist-Einträge, die maximale Anzahl
- an Einträgen in der Jumpliste lässt sich im Programm selbst ändern
- Einträge die hinzugefügt werden, erscheinen nun in der richtigen Gruppe
- Ordner können auch der Liste hinzugefügt werden
Features
- keine Installation, kein Müll in der Registry
- Jumplisten mit bis zu 10 60 Programmen, Dateien oder Ordner erzeugen, die direkt geöffnet werden können
(Hinweis: die Einstellung der maximalen Anzahl der Jumplist-Einträge kann nur global für das gesamte Windows geändert werden) - Einträge in der Jumpliste können gruppiert werden
- Ein Eintrag kann festgelegt werden, der beim Anklicken des Superbar-Icons des Jumplist-Launchers geöffnet wird
- Jeder Datei können Startparameter übergeben werden
- Wenn die Jumpliste angelegt wurde, muss der ‘Jumplist-Launcher’ nicht im Hintergrund weiterlaufen
- Durch Kopieren des Jumplist-Launcher Ordners kann man mehrere Icons auf der Superbar haben mit verschiedenen Einträgen
- Dateien können direkt aus dem Windows-Explorer in das Programm gezogen werden um sie zur Liste hinzuzufügen
- Die Icons und Namen der Einträge können frei gewählt werden
- Einträge können hinzugefügt werden indem man einzelne Dateien auf das Taskbar-Symbol des Jumplist-Launchers zieht und beim loslassen die Shift-Taste drückt.
Vorraussetzungen
- Microsoft Windows 7 RC oder höher
Benutzung
- Jumplist-Launcher.exe starten
- Gruppen hinzufügen mit ‘Add Group’, Die Gruppen können direkt durch klicken auf den Namen im Treeview verändert werden
- Dateien order Programme hinzufügen durch klicken auf ‘…’ oder sie einfach vom Windows-Explorer ins Programm ziehen
- Gruppen und Einträge können neu organisiert werden indem man sie selektiert und dann den hoch oder runter-Button anklickt
- Wenn nötig die Anzahl der maximalen Jump-List-items ändern
- Auf ‘Create Jumplist’ klicken um die Jumplist zu erzeugen und alles zu speichern
- Das Programm an die Superbar anheften
- Jumplist-Launcher schließen
bekannte Fehler
- Wenn man die Anzahl der maximalen Jumplist-Einträge verändert, dann ändert sich zugleich die Anzahl der zuletzt benutzten Datei
Dieser Fehler kann im Moment nicht behoben werden, da beide Werte durch nur einen Wert in der Registry repräsentiert werden
To-Do
- mehrere Einträge in der Superbar die unterschiedlichen Dateien/Ordnern enthalten mit nur einer Instanz des Jumplist-Launchers
- Einstellungen speichern als XML-Datei
- irgendwelche Ideen?
FAQ
Q: Im Programm treten seltsame Fehler auf
A: Die Daten enthalten wahrscheinlich Fehler. Löschen Sie den ganzen Inhalt des Icon-Ordner, aber nicht
den Ordner selbst und die Datei ’settings.dat’ aus dem Jumplist-Launcher-Ordner
Q: Wie kann ich dem Eintrag des Jumplist-Launchers der an die Superbar gepinnt ist ein eigenes Icon zuweisen?
A: Erstellen Sie eine Verküpfung der Exe-Datei und ziehen Sie diese auf die Superbar. In den Eigenschaften
der Verknüpfung können Sie manuell ein Icon zuweisen
Q: 10 60 Dateien/Programme nur? …Ich will mehr!
A: Kopieren Sie den gesamten Jumplist-Launcher-Ordner irgendwo anders hin.
Beide Jumplist-Launcher.exe benutzen unterschiedliche Daten. Deshalb können Sie ihnen unterschiedliche
Dateien/Programme zuweisen.
nett, aber wie wäre es, wenn eine (oder mehere) .exe datei erstellt wird, die nichts tut außer ein weiteres programm auszuführen (z.b. thunderbird) und über eine jumplist und ein icon verfügt.diese datei kann man dann an die satkbar anpinnen, bei einfachen linksklich öffnet sich dann einfach thunderbird. nur ein kleiner verbesserungsvorschlag, ich weiß nicht wo ich ihn sonst hinschicken sollte
Was hat es für einen Sinn eine Jumplist mit einem einzigen Icon zu haben?
Ich glaube ich verstehe dich nicht richtig schokoteddy.
Nice program, saves me using a toolbar folder!
To split the lists into seperat icons on the taskbar could you not pass in a parameter to the program to laod a different DAT file?
i.e. installation: Create shortcut to Jumplist, add parameter -list games to the end of the path, drag to start menu?
I dont know the in’s and out’s of Jump Lists but I would guess it would pass the parameter onto the program when it asks for the list?
This way you could have all kinds of jumplists from your taskbar.
Maybe have the option to change the colour of the folder or icon?
Nice program. One particular issue is when I execute the “add folder” option on the main window, an old dialog box with commands in german pops up. How can this be resolved?
Thanks!
Nice idea Ali.
Saddly can’t use it because most of my links use paramaters and they aren’t working ok; then there’s this issue with EOleException and worst of all the lousy control of the focus.
You should release the source code and leave the community help you fix all those issues and add some more stuff. Plenty of eyes can see better than two =)
I like the suggestion.
However as the Jumplist Launcher is coded in Object Pascal and has some external dependencies it would rather drive people crazy than lead to better releases.
It’s time to at least fix the parameter stuff.
Hi, great app, but it can be greater, if it will use native “Open Dialog” and translations (I can help with Russian).
Great app, really really helpful.
One suggestion I have though, it should have the posibility that when you left click, to bring up the jumplist and not the configuration dialog (like it does with right click) – just an idea.
Thank you very much
Where is the “Create Jumplist” Button? I am using version 7.2 and it never showed up! John
sweet program cant believe ive missed this till now.
things id like to see done with it would be:
-icon size settings
-thumbnails for images/videos etc.
-ability to specify a root path for a group folder.
(so that all files/folders within that root appear in the jumplist group)
-ability to make a jumplist start a program instead of the jumplist settings when clicked.
and i would agree with one instance of the program with multiple lists kept in xml, perhaps a notify icon to manage them would be nice but not a must i suppose.
thanks again just sharing suggestions! :p if theres a source somewhere maybe i can look into doing some of this myself.
oh and i notice that the number of max jumplist-items affects the height of the start menu creating a blank area if you dont have anything in your start menu aside from the jumplists. anyway to change that side effect? cant think of anything off the top of my head.

love the app- have used it for months now. *All of the sudden it completely stopped working. R.Click opens up list, but clicking on any app or location on the list does nothing; no error message or anything. Tried recreating the jumplists and testing every possible issue and can’t figure out why it has just suddenly stopped working. Any ideas? anyone else experience this?
Win7 Ultimate- completely standard install, no tweaks. when I load an old image of my machine from fresh install, it works perfectly. apps installed at some point between working & not working:
-webex connect
-quicktime pro 7.6.5.
-sorenson squeeze v6
-PDF XChange Viewer
If you try to create a jump list with the default program enabled while the program has already been pinned, it gives an error. This happened after I removed the configuration pin added by default then tried to get it back.
Hi buddy!
Thank you for this tool, its nice and exactly what i’m looking for, good job!
There is one cosmetic thing i would like to change. I got some groups in the Jumplist and the entry at the very bottom is the configuration option. I would prefer the possibility to move this to the top of the list or remove it? why dont just add it into the list in the configuration utility?
Then I do have a question, is there any way that a left click on the button in the superbar will open the menu with my entries? I Assume this is up to windows, right?
Cheers
Merlin
I’m sorry but I don’t understand your first question.
You can open a Jumplist by left-clicking on the icon and then pulling up the mouse-cursor. It needs some time to get used to it, but if you prefer left-clicking you’ll probably like it.
Hi, here’s a picture which explains what i mean.
http://www.merlinvs.de/jumplist.jpg
When opening the jumplist there is a extra space to go over (the Jumplist Launcher group) which could be reduced when moved to the top.
Also nachdem jeder hier sein Problem vorgetragen hat würde ich gern eins wissen
Kann ich die Anzahl für die Sprungleisten nicht seperat haben, sodass JumpListLuncher nur diese Anzahl anzeigt, weil es nämlich bei den Ordnern sch**** ist. Sieht auch nicht grad gut aus, wenn Beim Explorer 20 Ordner kommen .__.
Bin schon seit langem stiller leser deines blogs und finde deine Beitr
Hi,
finde das Utility gut !
Würde mir wünschen, dass jeder Gruppe ein beliebiges Icon zugewiesen
werden kann, ‘nice to have’

Gruppen-Icons funktionieren leider nicht.
Hello, great job.
thanks
i`m using win 7 x64, and i have instaled photoshop, both exe x86 and 64.
my problem is that i select photoshop.exe from Program Files (x86) into jumplist_launcher, but it open photoshop x 64.
i can`t find the solution.
could you help me
thanks
Hi, habe mir die Vorgängerversion von Chip-online und die aktuelle Version von dieser Seite geladen. Jedes Mal fehlte der Button “Create Jumplist”. Mein System: Win 7 64 Ultimate auf AMD-Plattform. Selbst im Kompartibilitätsmodus Vista SP2 fehlt die o. g. Funktion.
Eine Hilfestellung oder Übersendung einer funktionierenden Version wäre super.
Gruß
Maxi
Das ist seltsam. Könntest du mir einen Screenshot zukommen lassen? Schreib mich einfach via Kontakt-Formular an.
Hi again,
I got a solution to call UNC-locations with jumplist lauchner.
I’ve created an entry for the windows explorere (C:\windows\explorer.exe) with the parameter “/E,\\server\path”.
That works great.
Thank you
Kind Regards
Dietmar
I like jumplist launcher.
It is possible to implement UNC for file location like that \\server\path.
That would be great. I have to access many folders at different locations without local drive letters.
Thank you.
Kind regards
Dietmar
Really good tool.
one thing, after set default icon, then almost can’t run the setting before delete the default data.
I am not family with related code, but, I think the “left” click on the task bar should have some different with right click on the icon, and select run your program, so, even you have set the default icon, you should can launch the “jump-list launch” not launch the default icon.
thanks.
what a crappy amateur program, poor layout, really buggy, wasted 20 minutes of my life!
You wasted two of mine.
No, seriously, make comments containing constructive criticism or don’t.
Fantastic. Finally, you’ve made the jumplist useful for me. I don’t need recently used files; I do need recently used programs and program groups available. You’ve filled a tremendous void in the jumplist concept.
I’ve got to spread the word on this program!
(domain country code = dj = Dijbouti: had me fooled for a moment, didn’t realize you were using it for dj as in music!)
Nice tool, Thanks!
A check box in your settings, to change the LeftClick action (to mirror a Right Click action) would be great!
I’m not sure if this can be done, but can there be a setting your app to show the jumplist (as apposed to edit setting) with a Left click. 99% of the time you will be launching a app not editing settings. so a left click to open the JumpList would be ideal.
Thanks, again!
I agree… This would be a much better use of the Left mouse button!!!!
Hi, ich habe gerade versucht, ein paar Ordner zur Jumplist (V7.21) hinzuzufügen, und dabei festgestellt, dass die max. Anzahl der Einträge bei 16 stagniert (3 Gruppen mit insg. 16 Programm/Foldereinträgen). Erhöhe ich die max. Anzahl der Einträge, so wächst nur das Start-Menü, aber es werden dennoch nicht mehr Jumplist-Einträge angezeigt.
Ein tolles Programm, aber der Bug nervt ein wenig.
Wird er in naher Zukunft behoben ? Wäre toll !!
There is a bug with the latest version(7.2). The program has to be placed in the C: drive for it to work. I tried putting it in D:\Tools\JumplistLauncher but it just don’t show any shortcuts I add. After placing it in C:\Program Files\JumplistLanucher, everything works. But anyway, it’s great piece of software. Thank you!
many thanks for your nice little tool.
i took me hours to get it running thought!
in your readme you should mention that:
the most easy way is to open the program, then go to start-programs and drag every icon you like into the jumplist window. that is easy because start-programs will stay open and that way one can drag alot of icons very quick.
please mention further:
click the icon in the superbar with the right mouse button to open the list!
because i always clicked the left mouse button it took such a long time until i got it working.
that there is no more “create jumplist” button is also very disturbing.
thanks to your Jumplist-Launcher i don’t have to bother with the new windows 7 unergonomic start menu.
[...] 4. Jumplist Launcher: Jumplist Launcher helps you to create a custom jump list of applications that you want to access frequently. You can download Jumplist Launcher from here. [...]
It isn’t working.
I’m testing v7.21
I have Windows 7 with UAC enabled.
jumplistlauncher give a German message when I try to save jumplist. I believe it failed to write to the icon folder.
Should I have saved the EXE to somewhere unprotected, instead of c:\program files?
i copy it to “your name” user folder like
AppSave – Jumlist-Launcher – 01&02&03&04&05
in each number folder i placed a copy of JumplistLauncher.exe, that way having 5 icons in the windows7 superbar.
First off – great app! Exactly what I was looking for.
One quick question – is there anyway to make the menu cascade?
What I mean is if I have 4 groups in the jump list w/ 10 items in each group, when I pin it to the start menu – all 40 are open, it would be great if It would cascade. Ie – hit the jump – then get my 4 groups, then when I click or hover on a group – that one expands.
Or is that possible now?
Great, just what I wanted since I started using 7.
And I like this one better than 7stacks, ’cause it uses what already is inside w7, so it’s integrated and clean.
Not sure if you’re aware of this. But the # of items in the jump list is limited to 12, and increasing the limit to 60 effects the Startmenu.
I have the same issue. I like this idea better than 7stacks and the others I tried. I increased the count to 60 and no matter what, I cannot get past the initial 12 that I added, even if I try removing some of the items.
I would like to continue to use this app, but I will need more than the 12 or the ability to add more jump lists from the same instance to the task bar. Running multiple versions of the app is not something I would like to do.
you can increase the amount af apps being displayed by increasing the number of jumplist entries in windows (taskbar settings – number of entries in the jumplist). after that, you have to update you jumplist. this works for me.
i have multiple instances of the app running and i think its no problem. i just have 3 folders, which contain the different instances… why don’t you want multiple instances? the app isn’n always running.
Well, I just pin the applications and this way I just bypass the limit. However, the icon caching is giving me a difficult time and driving me insane…
create more groups in jumplist than you can ad more program icons
Nice app, But I prefer 7stacks.
Hi,
ich habe ein Problem mit dem Jumplist Launcher und weiß nicht sicher, ob es ein Bug ist.
Ich Verwende das Programm, um verschiedene Ordner zu öffnen.
Bei Netzwerkordnern scheint es Probleme zu geben. Das Programm stürzt bei diesen immer komplett ab oder bleibt einfach hängen.
Ich möchte z.B. auf \\server\movies zugreifen, aber dabei treten die o.g. Probleme auf.
Hat das sonst noch jemand oder handelt es sich um einen Bug?
Thx and greetz
sloopy
Hello,
This is a great tool with lots of potential! Thank you.
Feature Request:
When you finish the To-Do “Multiple taskbar entries with different icons with just one instance of the program”
Could you also make these jump lists available on the Start Menu? As the start menu is hidden, and I don’t want to load my superbar up with a bunch of different apps (I prefer different icons for each) this idea could be useful to some users.
Thanks, and awesome work (again!)
Hi Ali,
although I realise that already some entries exist in your blog about parameter problems, I’d like to add one. Thanks for your cool program anyway. I wanted to start the alternative chm-viewer “xchm.exe” with the VBScript-documentation. M$-software is not willing to work, because “Z:\” in my case is a network share. CHM-fixes which used to work in WXP won’t work on Win7 x64.
These are my entries in Jumplist Launcher:
File location: C:\Utility\xchm\xchm.exe
Parameters: Z:\Hilfe\VBSdocs\Script56.CHM
Catching the command line which is fired by Jumplist Launcher with Sysinternals Process Explorer, I get this result:
“C:\Utility\JumplistLauncher\JumplistLauncher.exe” “/openC:\Utility\xchm\xchm.exe/parZ:\Hilfe\VBSdocs\Script56.CHM”
What I actually would expect though would look like this:
“C:\Utility\JumplistLauncher\JumplistLauncher.exe” /open”C:\Utility\xchm\xchm.exe” /par”Z:\Hilfe\VBSdocs\Script56.CHM”
Please note the different placing of quotation marks and the space in front of “/par”. Unfortunately the result of this commandline is only windows explorer to open in “C:\Utility\xchm”-directory. The program xchm.exe is NOT being executed.
If I launch “C:\Utility\xchm\xchm.exe Z:\Hilfe\VBSdocs\Script56.CHM” in a console window or from the RUN-dialog, it will work as expected.
Maybe this is useful for you to fix the param problem when you have some spare time. I am looking forward!
Thanks in advance, Thomas
I ran into the same problem, but your post helped explain why it wasn’t working. Thanks! Since it appears to be a simple string handling glitch, here’s hoping it gets fixed soon.
For now I use a workaround by making a shortcut with the appropriate command line parameters then dropping the shortcut into Jumplist-Launcher.
Hi FZ,
I wonder how you managed the workaround using a shortcut (we ARE talking about these *.LNK-files generated by windows explorer’s right-click menu NEW > SHORTCUT, aren’t we?) to use with Jumplist Launcher?
Whenever I drag and drop an shortcut like this (to stick to my example above, it would be a command line like “C:\Utility\xchm\xchm.exe Z:\Hilfe\VBSdocs\Script56.CHM” in the textbox of the dialog which is shown, when I create a new shortcut in windows explorer within a folder) into Jumplist Launcher, it recognizes what I am doing, and seperates the program from the parameter automatically. At last I end up with the same not working entry as before, i.e. “C:\Utility\JumplistLauncher\JumplistLauncher.exe” “/openC:\Utility\xchm\xchm.exe/parZ:\Hilfe\VBSdocs\Script56.CHM”.
I have to mention that I use Win7 x64 and Jumplist Launcher v7.2.
Good night and good luck – I love this one
)
Thomas
Hmm, my previous follow-up didn’t seem to go through. Skipping the frills, the main point was:
Paste the explicit path to your shortcut file (Shift+right-click -> “copy as path”…) directly into the “File location” field. If you drag&drop or use the “Add file” file browser the shortcut gets messed up. Be sure the shortcut name has no spaces in it.
-FZ
Hey, that’s cool!
Thanks for the clarification.
Thomas
Well, the way JL handles parameters is creating some problems for me too. My original shortcut (which works perfectly on its own) is:
D:\SR\Sr32.exe /i /D /p”G:\@reference\Glossare\Macintosh\Mac OS X\*.xml”
And this is what JL (renamed to “Aktuell.exe” for the sake of my special structure) converts this to (copied from Process Explorer):
“D:\Tools\Jumplists\Aktuell\Aktuell.exe” “/openD:\SR\Sr32.exe/par/i /D /p”G:\@reference\Glossare\Macintosh\Mac OS X\*.xml”"
The result is that I get a dialog from the system with the caption “Aktuell” and the error message: “Datei wurde nicht gefunden” (file not found) – this must come from German Windows 7 since the application I’m trying to call is in English, not in German.
This is exactly what I was looking for but I’m also having some parameter problems like others. I am looking forward to a fix for them soon.
Unfortunately, creating shortcuts to the apps that I wanted to add to the jumplist didn’t work. I am a web developer and wanted quick access to all my web browsers, but IE6 and IE7 I have running in Virtual PC VMs. I have shortcuts in my Start Menu to the apps in the VMs but when launching them via Jumplist-Launcher, they just say:
There was a problem starting C:\Windows\system32\VMCPropertyHandler.dll
The specified module could not be found.
Hi, Although I think this is a brilliant addition to Win7 (Shame on them for doing away with the classic start menu), there are a few issues I’m having. I cannot add more than 10 items – even if I try making it 11 or 12, I get the error “Could not create Jumplist”.
Another suggestion I have is to reverse the roles of the mouse buttons (if possible with Windows 7 pinning). It would make more sense to have the left-click manifest the list as opposed to the right.
Super tool, endlich habe ich etwas gefunden, was genau das macht, was es soll. Schnell und einfach!
FEATURE REQUEST!
Toll wäre es, wenn das icon der .exe änderbar wäre
Danke!!
ahhh schon gut, FAQ sollte man lesen
New jumplist icon please
thanks
Hi,
ein tolles Programm! Sehr nützlich!
Ein weiteres cooles Feature wäre, wenn die Explorer Jumplist im Favoriten-Ordner von Windows auftauchen würde. Dann stünden die enthaltenen Verknüpfungen auch links im Explorer bereit, und man könnte sie nutzen ohne dafür eine neues Fenster öffnen zu lassen. (Einträge der Explorer Jumplist öffnen immer ein neues Fenster).
Stattdessen, könnte es auch eine Option geben, mit der man angibt ob ein Jumplist-Eintrag ein neue Instanz des zugehörigen Programmes öffnet, oder die geöffnete nutzt.
Viele Grüße
Patrick
> Der Fehler, dass einige Leute keine Jumplist (oder Tasklist) erstellen können ist nun endlich behoben
Falsch.
Ich konfigurier mir nen Wolf und es erscheint — keine Jumplist.
Genaugenommen erscheint bei Rechtsklick auf Jumplistlaucher gar nichts – das Rechtsklickmenü ist einfach weg.
Icons-Verzeichnis und settings.dat werden erzeugt – nur keine Jumplist.
Frust.
System: Windows 7 Enterprise x64, englisch
Irgendwelche Vorschläge oder Ideen wie ich den Jumplist Launcher zum Jumplist-Launchen kriege?
Got a problem, maximum of jumplist showing is just 15 and not 60
same here, only 15 entries showing
Danke fuer das hammer tool!!!!Gut gemacht digger!!!
This seems to be one of the best tools I added to my Windows so far! Nice work! (FYI, I found it using freewaregenius.com).
I love the fact that I can create several instances of this app with different content! It would be nice however if I could choose a different icon for each taskbar entry (thus for the .exe) myself.
Another (very) minor bug: when dragging the “Desktop” folder to the app it does not use the correct icon; it uses the default folder icon instead.
The icons can be modified using a program like IconChanger or so (http://www.shelllabs.com/).
Hallo Ali,
erst einmal einen riesen Dank für die Arbeit. Habe den Jumplist Launcher erst heute entdeckt und bin super begeistert!
Mir ist etwas für die To-Do Liste eingefallen, was Usern helfen könnte, die mehrere Jumlist Launcher.exe am laufen haben.
Und zwar, die Möglichkeit, das Jumlist Icon ebenfalls zu ändern mit eignen Icons. So könnte man das ganze richtig personalieren und der User hat die Möglichkeit, über die Launcher auf den kompletten PC zuzugreifen, ohne auch nur den Explorer anzufassen. Das würde mir persönlich zumindestens sehr gefallen
Thank you for this nice tool!
But here is another bug report for the current release (7.1). The Launcher is installed on Windows 7 x64, pinned in start menu with a default entry mark set (so that it launches my own link on left-click and not the jump-launcher). As I prepare the system for someone that should not be disturbed by too much menu options (confusing icons, symbols, links..), I removed Jump-Launcher’s automatically generated “Configuration” entry that appears with the default check box feature enabled. I was lucky this option was still offered, but after modifying the list (the JL was sill opened) and pressing “Update Jumplist”, an EOleException raised with “unknown reason”. Another box appeared with the message “Couldnt create Jumplist. This issue… Please post details about your system in my blog”. So, here it is.
Obviously I corrupted the dat-files by removing the entry via explorer. I realize the mechanism now, that, one cannot restart the JumpLauncher without the entry and without removing the defaultstart-dat-file. Obviously, the automatically generated entry is necessary. But anyway, I would be glad, if there was another way / another entry into the configuration (not in the jump list). Please note, this problem will also occur when someone accidently unpins the jump list. The user wont be able to enter the configuration anymore (without removing the defaultstart-file). As it is very obvious, I guess, you already know about this issue and I also see that a clean solution is hard to implement (may be, with two exe-files, one for config and one as the jumplist-dummy that scans upon start if it is still pinned). May be, in order to switch back to the config, a start-with-left-click+shift-hack or so would be a very simple hack to implement?
typo: current release is 7.2, not 7.1
It’s completely unworkable. Loads of bugs in the interface, random crashes, anything with parameters doesn’t work, some programs don’t start (“Datie wurde nicht gefunden”), ugly icons. It’s the perfect idea with the worst implementation you could imagine. Very sloppy programming. I would prefer to just have a program with no interface that at least works…
@Guillaume:
Make a better one!
No one forces you to use it.
I really don’t have much time because I have much more important stuff going on.
I am willing to iron out all bugs, but it will take some time.
Even though my bug report is a bit lengthy, it is meant to be a constructive feedback and not to kick off a bashing against the tool or the honorable author. (Any frustrations should be directed to Microsoft who forgot or denied to implement such features. Despite the hype around Win7 within the media, I find the window manager is still a big disappointment. Consider their efforts and the long time they develop it!)
This tool is very useful and I like it anyway!
And I am quite familiar with programming. Whether it is sloppy or not, that is not the point in my case (and I think, for most other users, too), because it does not run all the time and thus does not affect system stability etc. It is good enough to setup the jump list. And whenever it crashes during configuration, it is possible to restart by deleting the dat-files. Of course, this is exhausting when the lists are long, but its up to the user to enter a long link list a second time. Simply backup the dat-files or the whole folder before a change.
However, here is another bug report (same setup): it is not possible to import a link to a network path such as \\10.1.2.3\data by drag&drop and I also cant get such a link to work by entering it manually. A link to a local folder does work though. I also cannot use a link that points to an XP mode application, with a file location pointing to rundll.exe and an argument list like %SystemRoot%\system32\VMCPropertyHandler.dll,LaunchVMSal “Windows XP Mode” “||860f3d20″ “MyAppName” or with %SystemRoot% replaced by its value. RunDLL complains about not finding the module (but the link works in explorer with the same argument string, but..as a hint: I get the same error with explorer when I change the VMCPropertyHandler.dll to some garbage). I read all the comments below, but may be missed something: do I still need quotes or so?
Hello my friend,
I love your program! Thank you for your hard work. There is one small ‘bug’ that is easy to fix. When you create/add a “Folder” to your list, the box (box to choose the folder) comes up, but is not fully translated into English. When I choose “Add File”, everything is OK, no problems.
If I hit “Add Folder”, the box comes up with German words still.. “Abbrechen” and “Hilfe”… “Dateien”… “Verziechnes auswahlen”… 8/ I don’t know what these mean!
Could you fix this small problem in the next release please? This was probably just something you didn’t see when making the English version.
Thank you for this program again! It is very good!!
Just for help (maybe to save you time), here are the correct English translations for this box (I looked them up). This is their direct translation to English:
Verzeichnis Auswahlen = “Choose a folder…”
Verzeichnisname: = “Folder name:”
Verzeichnisse: = “Folder:”
Dateien: (*.*) = “Files: (*.*)”
Laufwerke: = “Drive:”
Abbrechen = “Cancel”
Hilfe = “Help”
I would change them myself, but I do not have the program code
After setting several entries, I moved JumplistLauncher.exe from downloads folder to it’s final destination and moved settings.dat into same folder.
Now launcher no longer shows entries from the taskbar – but still in launcher’s edit dialog. When I click on “Update Jumplist” I get an
ACCESS VIOLATION!!!
How could fix this without losing my entries?
When I drag an Explorer link into Launcher config, the name of the link is not taken over to the launcher’s “Name: ” field.
That’s pity.
I have a folder with about 70 explorer links for system management, e. g.:
AutoPlay Settings ->
%windir%\system32\control.exe /name Microsoft.AutoPlay
Network Connections ->
%WinDir%\system32\control.exe %WinDir%\system32\ncpa.cpl
…
Thus when dragging these into launcher, I get such meaningless links control or rundll etc.
Would be great if you added this feature.
Thanks! Danke!

Hi ALi, My name is Andrew.
I see you are better and better every day…
What Can I say ? Congratulation to your software, you are doing an excellent job !!!! Your program is very very handy. I like very much.
Thank you very much !!!!
v7.2 / W7 Ultimate 32-Bit:
Nach jedem Neustart ist die Jumplist in der Taskbar leer. Im Jumplist launcher sind Programme noch vorhanden, aber ein Update auf JumpList generiert fehler “EOleException error raised, with message; Unspecified error”. Tool muss neu isntalliert werden, um wieder eine JumpList zu generieren…bis zum nächsten Neustart.
Tooles Tool, aber leider für mich nicht einsetzbar
The only reason I don’t use this nice program is because I can’t find a way to add a URL to the JumpList Launcher, is there a way to accomplish this?
Create a shortcut to the url (for example dragging the icon next to url to desktop) and link that to jumplist
Äußerst nützlich! Gute Arbeit
The antivirus program avast! keeps saying there is Trojan inside —–Win32:Delf-MZG [Trj], so…. is it a mistake?
Definitely a false positive.
Where can i get older versions? I still can’t get some parameters for programs to work correctly.
You can’t.
I won’t be able to fix this issue until January 2010, sorry.
Hallo,
erst mal ein Lob für das tolle Programm.
Aber es muss unabhänig von den Windows Jump-Listen-Einträgen funktionieren.
Mein Startmenü ist im Momrnt so groß wegen der Anzahl der Maximalen Jumplisten. Das muss geändert werden.
Desweiteren werden beim anpassen der Liste nicht immer alle Einträge angezeigt. Leider kann ich es nicht wirklich nachvollziehen. Im Moment funktioniert es.
Soweit ich weiß ist das technisch nicht möglich.
Zitat aus den MSDN-Foren: “Man kann der entsprechenden Windows7-API keine individuelle Jumplist-Größe mitteilen, diese wird vom System global verwaltet.”
One thing that would be nice to see is the ability to add an entry that is folder displaying dynamic. What I mean by that is you have the ability to add folder shortcuts. Why not the ability to add a group that is a folder and the entries in said group are files in the folder. With the ability to control how many files from the folder to be displayed this would be the perfect addition.

hatte es versehentlich in C:\programme kopiert und ewig oft versucht, von dort aus gings nie…
vom desktop aus gings! habe win7 x64.
bin dann nach 20min auf die idee gekommen, es in C:\programme (x86) zu kopieren und siehe da, von dort aus funktioniert es. großartig. toll wäre hier auch ein newsletter, damit man über neue programmupdates informiert werden könnte…
Hey Ali,
danke für das Progam, aber ich kann es nich “pinnen”. Sehe nur die Vorschau für die Einstellungen. Benutze Win7 Ultimate 32 Bit.
Hat sich erledigt. Exe in einen neuen Ordner kopiert, dann gings. Direkt nach dem entpacken nicht. Komisch… Ôo

Win7 64bit home Premium 7600 build
Looks nice – but after populating the launch list with groups and files, the only program which successfully starts every time I click on an arbitrary entry on the list is…. JumplistLauncher. None of the programs in the launch list will start. Very strange….
(Win7 Ultimate/64Bit, JumplistLauncher files located in %USERPROFILE%\Launcher)
Seems to happen with me, too. After a while I only have the default program accessible. The launcher seems to forget the “launch-listed” programms. It is necessary to re-install from scratch. (Win7 HP 64bit, JumplistLauncher files (multiple) located in %Userprofile%\Jumplist1…5
lassen sich die in der jumplist gespeicherten Ordner auch in einem anderen programm öffnen?
Bin ein Fan von Total Commander und es wäre toll, wenn der TC den angeklickten Ordner öffnen würde anstatt des WinExplorers
In dem Fall ist es das Einfachste wenn du den Total Commander mit entsprechenden Parametern fütterst, damit er den jeweiligen Ordner öffnet.
Man kann auch den Explorer komplett ersetzen, aber das gibt für Gewöhnlich nur Trouble.
Works on all my Win7 computers except my laptop. When I bring up jump list and click an application the jumplist dissapears and nothing happens. I have tried re-downloading it and extracting to different paths. I have also tried setting the exe to run under admin rights. Any ideas?
Same with me. Does not work on HP mini 311 with Windows 7 HP 32. It works on my desktop with Windows 7 HP 64.
same here on my samsung laptop. 7even professional 32 bit system.
hope the developer can fix this as I really like the idea behind this program!

Hi
First, thank you for a great program. I appreciate all of your hard work.
I have some suggestions for improvements:
1) Have an option to add a URL to the jumplist and use the URL’s favicon for the icon automatically. I can do this manually but it would be nice to do it automatically.
2) Allow a single left click to open the jumplist if no default application is selected. (At the moment I have to click, hold and drag.)
3) I would like to be able to copy jumplist entries and paste them into the same jumplist (or a different one).
4) If I add entries or make changes, could the program automatically save these rather than making me click “Save Changes” or “Update Jumplist”?
5) I’d love to have a jumplist that shows the last X recently opened documents. I can put a link the “Recent Items” folder, but cannot work out how to show the recent items in the folder not just the folder.
6) Some error messages are not translated into English.
7) Choosing icons for jumplist entries could be better: I’d like to be able to choose an icon from within an .exe, .dll or .icl file.
Once again, thanks for a great program!
The icons in the jumplist are very blur. It should display the 16×16 style of the icons. (sorry for my terrible English…)
Isn’t it Windows 7 only?
I think it is. I only have windows 7.
Hi,
ist es möglich, den in der Jumplist angezeigten Icons einen transparenten Hintergrund zu verpassen ? Ich nutze WindowBlinds und sobald der Hintergrund der Jumplist eine andere Farbe hat als weiss, wird der Hintergrund der Icons trotzdem weiss angezeigt. Zwar nur kosmetisch, aber das sieht nicht schön aus.
no xp..
Does Jumplist launcher work with Vista Business as I am having trouble creating jumplists.
Regards,
Peter

Impossible.
I’ve explained the workaround here multiple times and it’s even included in the FAQ.

Erst einmal vielen Dank für das Supertool.
Ich habe nur ein kleines Problem. Trotz hochsetzen der Jumplist-Items werden mir nur maximal 3 Gruppen bzw. 16 Einträge angezeigt.
Ist der oben dargestellte Screenshot eigentlich aktuell? Bei mir sieht das Programm etwas anders aus. Der Button “Create Jumplist” heißt bei mir auch “Update Jumplist”. Hängt das vielleicht damit zusammen?

Vielen Dank nochmal.

The path and parameter below will not work, although they will work on a normal shortcut.
C:\WWOLF\BCut.exe /M c:\mcube
It will work however if it is assigned to the jumplist-launcher superbar icon
I’m looking into this.
Thanks for your contribution.
Hallo,
erstmal danke für dieses geniale Tool, das beim Einrichten eines frischen Windows 7 Systems doch ziemlich für Ordnung sorgt.
Leider habe ich ein kleines Problem: Ziehe ich den Launcher für Portable Thunderbird in die Jumplist, dann wird nicht mein portables Profil geladen, stattdessen öffnet sich der Dialog zum Einrichten eines neuen Kontos. Direktes Starten des Launchers funktioniert hingegen einwandfrei. Irgendwelche Ideen?
Viele Grüße

Would you be able to create a more advanced explorer integration of the shortcuts? For instance I’d like to open the folder the shortcut is located in, or access the properties menu of the file the shortcut leads to.

[...] Die neue Taskleiste mit der so genannten Jumplist von Windows 7 ist ein sehr feines Spielzeug und ein erheblicher Fortschritt gegenüber der alten Taskleiste. Vereinfacht gesagt: Ein Rechtsklick auf ein abgelegtes Symbol und die so genannte Jumplist wird angezeigt. Bei Programmen, die für Windows 7 optimiert sind, können so zum Beispiel die letzten verwendeten Dokumente angezeigt werden. Ebenso lassen sich, wenn gewünscht, Dokumente anheften. Das Blog von Microsoft Deutschland hat das hier sehr anschaulich erklärt. Doch die neue Taskleiste ist natürlich aufgrund der Breite der Bildschirme endlich, sprich räumlich begrenzt – und das neue Startmenü leidet doch bei mehreren Einträgen unter einer gewissen Unübersichtlichkeit. Wo viel Licht, da ist auch Schatten. Hier kommt der Jumplist-Launcher ins Spiel – Hedgehog hat da ein nettes Tool programmiert. [...]
very helpful!! thanks
Wirklich tolles Tool!
Was ich noch vermisse ist die Möglichkeit eine Icon .dll auswählen zu können um mehr Icons zur Auswahl zu haben. Vielleicht könnte man dies noch integrieren. Eine Lösung für das Problem mit den zuletzt verwendeten Dateien wäre natürlich auch wünschenswert. Ich weiß nicht ob es damit zusammenhängt aber ich kann nur etwa 20 Einträge in der Jumplist anzeigen lassen egal wie hoch ich den Wert für maximale Jumplist-Einträge einstelle. Das einzige was ich damit verändere ist die Größe des Startmenüs (was ja dieser bekannte Fehler ist).
Hallo,
kann man auch mehrere “JumplistLaucher” in der Taskleiste anheften lassen? Oder ist momentan nur einer möglich?
Im Moment kann man nur eine Jumplist erstellen.
Um mehrere zu machen musst du den Jumplist-Launcher.exe in einen anderen Ordner kopieren.
Wie schaut es mit dem Ändern des Standardicons aus, dass der Laucher in der Superbar ablegt (blauer Ordner)?
Mach ne Verknüpfung zur Jumplist-Launcher.exe und ändere deren Icon.
Anders geht es nicht weil:
Das Icon der exe kann man zwar temporär ändern, aber sobald man das entsprechende Programm an die Superbar anpinnt zieht Windows automatisch das Icon das die .exe-Datei besitzt heran.
Danke für deine Infos und das wirklich tolle Programm!!!
Ich hoffe, dass du da am Ball bleibst und dieses Sahnestück
nicht irgendwann in der Versenkung verschwindet
[quote]Um mehrere zu machen musst du den Jumplist-Launcher.exe in einen anderen Ordner kopieren.[/quote]
Nun wäre es natürlich schön, wenn man zwischen den Launchern Icons per Drag & Drop verschieben könnte. Könntest du das umsetzen?
Short version:
I seem to have it working now with just a minor issue.
Long version:
I don’t know how many of these problems are my not quite having the program’s operation down yet and how many are little glitches caused by 64-bit Windows 7, so I’ll let you sift through all this (if you want to) to see what sounds like my just screwing up and what sounds like maybe a compatibility issue.
I clicked JumplistLauncher.exe and got a window with the title, “Unsupported 16-bit Application” that says (complete with misspelling of incompatibility):
===============
The program of feature “\??\C:\Windows\Installer\{ABC52DF9-2D42-4278-A152-CB2CD3ED8Fe91eb.exe” cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.
===============
When I click OK, I get a pop-up window titled “JumplistLauncher” with the message:
===============
Fehler beim gemeinsamen Zugriff auf eine Datei im Netz oder Fehler beim Zugriff auf eine gesperrte Datei im Netz.
===============
The defaultstart.dat file contains “ C : \ W i n d o w s \ I n s t a l l e r \ { A B C 5 2 C F 9 – 2 D 4 3 – 4 2 7 8 – A 1 5 2 – C B 2 C D 3 E D 8 F E 9 } \ _ 2 6 e 9 1 e b . e x e ” When the program opened another program instead of Jumplist, the defaultstart.dat was the name of the other program.
However, as I was experimenting just now to see what it was doing, I realized part of the problem was that I forgot and left-clicked the JumplistLauncher icon instead of right-clicking it; that’s why it opened the other program — the first one on its list. Also, I deleted the info in the defaultstart.dat folder, and it let me start the program and get into the configuration setup. If I remember to click Configuration rather than JumplistLauncher, I seem to be able to get through to everything without error messages.
I *did* have one program change its location and had to re-enter the File location. And I *do* have the problem of a program’s disappearing from the list after I click it; that seemed to stop if I click the pin button for each program, but then I lose the folder grouping. I don’t know if this removal from the list is a bug or something I don’t understand; it shows in the Configuration, but it’s gone from the actual Tasbar pop-up. Ah — the Configuration had a check mark next to the name; so the Taskbar pop-up must delete what’s checked in Configuration. Is THAT supposed to happen?
And I just tried to add links to two Virtual Machines; but, when I click them in JumplistLauncher from the taskbar, I get the message window titled “JumplistLauncher:
===============
Fehler beim gemeinsamen Zugriff auf eine Datei im netz oder Fehler beim Zugriff auf eine gesperrte Datei im Netz.
===============
Interestingly, now Configuration is missing from the JumplistLauncher but clciking JumplistLauncher in it now brings up the Configuration program. And now clicking on JumplistLauncher in the taskbar brings up Configuration, as well.
I started the program; it worked o.k. for a couple of minutes; I went to make changes, and it popped up a different program. I deleted everything, re-extracted, re-ran, and it tells me it’s not Windows 7 64-bit compatible. I’m not sure why it was *almost* working the first time and then says it can’t even run later, but……
Is it *really* not 64-bit compatible? Or did something just get stuck somewhere that needs to be removed before he re-install will work?
Thanks,
Richard
Sounds strange.
What’s the exact error-message?
It is compatible with 64-bit Windows 7.
Also it doesn’t install anything so there can’t be problem with unextracting and running it again.
It seems to me that the parameter option is broken in the latest available version (v7.1). Is there a way i can revert back to v6 where it did work or do you have some suggestions to get it to work?
I like to use multiple versions of Firefox and i need a couple of parameters in order to be able to do so in a jump list.
My jump list entry looks like this:
Location:
“%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Firefox Versions\Firefox Branch\firefox.exe”
Parameter:
-no-remote -profile “%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Firefox Versions\Firefox Branch\Profiles\Fresh”
Can anyone else confirm this? or offer a solution?
I uploaded a new version of the Jumplist-Launcher 7.2
This one can finally handle environment variables.
Please give a short feedback if it works for you.
I have tried the item without environment variables as well. The new version doesn’t seem to have any effect on the behavior. For some reason it doesn’t call firefox.exe from the location i give. Even when i remove the parameters, it still calls my installed version of Firefox in “Program Files.” I am running an x64 version of Windows 7 Pro RTM if that helps.
Does starting the alternative Firefox-version with normal shortcuts work?
Yes, it does.
It also used to work with v6
“exception” on secondary ‘Program Files’ destination shortcut,
“Cannot make jumplist”
Can you explain your problem a bit more detailed? I don’t get your point at the moment, sorry.
Feature request:
Ability to copy an item btwn multiple jumplists
Will be included
BUG/FEATURE REQUESTS:
1) Do not rename shortcuts/exes on drag & drop
Transparency options? (adjustable) 
2) Do not change / make new set of icons for each jumplists
(for multiple jumplists)
3) Ability to import/copy ANY group of shortcuts
(mixed types – including scripts/shell/folders/system shortcuts/etc)
4) Ability to use/import a folder of shortcuts as/for jumplist
(to enable mass import of an existing set of jumplist shortcuts)
5) Ability to manage jumplist/s with explorer
(use folder/s for each shortcut ‘group’)
6) Include an option to duplicate/create new/additional jumplists
(rather than having to copy each Jumplist-Launcher.exe/etc manually)
7) Make exe (Doubleclick) go to jumplist menu by default
(registry setting? or could this be ‘Jumplist’ specific?)
9) Keep up the great work!
Awesome program!
Batch import multiple folders or mixed shortcuts under Windows 7 Ult RTM does not work for me either.
Also getting “cannot make jumplist error” (on batch import).
Really like the idea of having the ability to import a folder as a jumplist for manageability also, can you implement this?
Transparancy would also be a great idea.
btw noticed your todo list: idea of a single executeable is good, but only if it doesnt require the program to continue running 24/7.
1.) What do you mean exactly?
2.) I don’t understand that either.
3.) This matter will be investigated
4.) I have an idea of what you mean, but am not sure, so please give me some more details
5.) Not planned, but XML-format is planned for the settings-file
6.) I’m working on this soon
7.) Superbar-items don’t react to double-clicks
8.) For the config-window?
@me_aslo:
What do you mean with batch-import?
I will consider the folder thing.
Multi-Jumplist ability won’t require running the Jumplist-Launcher all the time.
A) Try to add a shortcut as a new item. The icon, the name and the target will be lost.
Great Program! couple little bugs & requests for improvements…
BUG:
1) changing the taskbar icon for jumplist-launcher does not work for me either. (Changing any other taskbar icon works for me also).
2) drag and dropping (any type of) a group of shortcuts from other folders (mixed types or not) does not work at all reliablely unfortunetely.
IMPROVEMENT/FEATURE REQUESTS:
1) Managing multple Jumplist-Launchers is much to cumbersome, (especiallly for ppl with disabilities), and this is why:
I’ve always made my own jumplists by doing the following;
1)make an ‘ALT-255′ (noname) dir for each jumplist/menulist i want, and
2)dumping ANY type of shorcuts in it/them, then
3)right click taskbar add new toolbar and selecting the ALT-255 dir/s i created and adding them to taskbar. (1 menu per group of shortcuts i use).
I have been doing it this way since early days of XP, which is a much easier easy to manage your Jumplist/Custom Menus…
…which is more or less the same thing as the new Windows 7 Jumplists, BUT now prettier and with the ability to use a Hotkey to bring up each jumplists/menu… (Windows+Alt+0-9) BUT with one major issue…
for example with the OLD method, you can use the same folders for multiple Windows OS’s or users or workstations, etc… simply by managing the folder as u would any other folder…
Which brings me to my question, for possible SOLUTIONS/IMPROVEMENTS:
1) Enable the ability to organize and manage our (multiple) shortcut types and (multiple) jumplists more easily by way of using folders (as well as) a point & click interface because i currently have 5 of these types of menulists to maintain, and i share them with other workstations. (because it is much too difficult and time consuming currently, especially for Carpal Tunnel People / Repetetive Strain people…
Hope my input helps!
Btw… would there be some way to make the menu lists transparent/peek-able?
Wanted to say your program is really great and its coming along quite nicely, and one thing i really like about it is that it is not resident (does not use memory).
EDIT:
1) Could you please find a way to enable your great program to have the ability to organize and manage our (multiple) shortcut types and (multiple) jumplists more easily by way of using folders (as well as) a point & click interface because i currently have 5 of these types of menulists to maintain, and i share them with other workstations. (and currently it is difficult and time consuming currently, especially for Carpal Tunnel People / Repetetive Strain people to manage multiplejumplists currently…
Reason being: Im just staring at my old 5 menus and 5 new blue folder jumplist icons on my taskbar and i am still debating whether or not i want to continue with the manual creation of 5 NEW menus that i cant share with other machines, because with v7.1 of Jumplist-Launcher it does not like my groups of shorcuts and only seems to work (properly) if i add each shortcut manually = not fun and painfull because i have carpal tunnel syndrome.
Btw did i say your U rock?!! Especially for a DJ! How do you make time for this stuff. lol.
I’m working on the ability to manage multiple Jumplists within one application, which will be a lot easier to handle.
I’m sceptical about the “use folder as Jumplist”-thing and other things have definately priority over it.
What do you want to be transparent?
The Jumplist or the configuration-windows of the Jumplist-Launcher?
I love the app, but I have a few more things that would be nice:
1) Auto-update notification (popup to inform if new version is available, you have webspace, not a big deal to throw a xml file on there
)
2) If the main configuration window is resized, save that for the next execution of the application, just ensure that the window size isn’t too big for the users monitor(s). Don’t keep the window location in case someone starts the app with a 2nd monitor connected, and runs the app on that 2nd monitor, but then runs it again with only 1 monitor
Changing Jumplist-Launcher taskbar icon does not work (even after reboot). (Changing any other icon works), and cannot change icon of actual .exe
All good ideas, Matt.
Added to my own ToDo-list.
@Billy Bob:
How are you trying to change the icon?
In my example I created a shortcut to Jumplist-Launcher.exe and changed it’s icon.
I wrote a small app to test changing the application icon.
As long as the application is not “pinned” to the taskbar, it’s icon changed when I changed it via code, but once the application is “pinned” to the taskbar, it does not change in the taskbar (the Windows form still changes it’s icon on the top left corner). Windows must be caching the icons of each “pinned” taskbar applications somewhere.
But, it is definitely possible since there are applications that modify their icon, even when they’re “pinned” to the Windows 7 taskbar. (IE8 – when it’s downloading something, it animates the icon) I just don’t have time to look through the Microsoft Windows 7 taskbar API
Good luck and your application is really useful
Thanks again
I like your implementation but there are some slight bugs/tweaks needed.
1) [BUG] When adding a new “item” to a group, after the item is added, the last element (item or group) is selected. If you press the “Save Changes” button the last element (item or group) is altered to have the new items info.
–Solutions (either one would work):
a) give focus to the newly added item
b) un-select all elements after a new item is added (disable the “Save Changes” button and clear the “Selected Entry” fields)
2) [TWEAK] When selecting an item to be the “default-run application”, you add an entry to the bottom of the jump-list for “configuration”. If the user has more items in their jump-list than Windows allows, the ones at the bottom are ignored.
–Solution:
The “configuration” entry should be moved to the top of the jump-list.
Also, upon the applications starting-up, if the user has removed the “configuration” item via the built-in Windows method (right-click element in jump-list and “Remove from this list”), your app should re-add that entry before executing the “default-run application” and shutting-down, otherwise the only way to re-execute your application is to remove the “defaultstart.dat” file that you make and then running it.
3) [TWEAK] I’m not sure how possible this is as I haven’t done any development with the new Windows7 taskbar, but I assume that if you change the application icon for your exe, the icon displayed in the taskbar would also change. If so, then it’d be nice that if an jump-list item was set as “default start”, it’s icon would be visible on the taskbar.
1.) I will fix this
2.) People aren’t supposed to remove that item.
I personally don’t want to move it to the top because for me the most important things are at the top.
I will think about a better solution.
3.) This is sadly not possible. I tried it and it won’t change.
Nice piece of software, however if you add a parameter which is for example is a file name containing spaces it does not get interpreted correctly. Even if you use quotes around it.
I can verify this problem and am looking into improving this.
I’d love to have the default buttons for the app to be switched. This way instead of having to HOLD the left button to open the list, you could just single-left-click it and open it. Then you could use the RIGHT mouse button to open the jumplist app itself. Is this possible?
Great app!!! (MS should have put something like this in it out of the box)
Internal Windows routine. I doubt if this is possible. But really, you’ll get used to it within hours.
Hallo, hab auf der Seite gelesen, dass es zuvor Probleme beim Erstellen der Jumplists gab wegen den Sicherheitseinstellungen. Welche Einstellungen sind das ?
Es muss unter Start->Eigenschaften->Tab Startmenü->Datenschutz die Option “Zuletzt geöffnete Elemente im Startmenü und in der Taskleiste speichern und anzeigen” gesetzt sein.
Brilliant solution!
Two things:
* Could you please fix the icon transparency problem: just extract the 16×16 icon from the given file instead of doing some resize manually.
In the mean time, is there a way to update the icons manually?
* Selecting 14 possible items in the Taskband menu settings actually allows for 15 items, so please do allow one more item than the setting allows (not possible since v7).
Regards!
The next version will include the weird icon look problem.
You can alter them by going into the icons-folder and edit them manually, but be aware that they will be re-created once you create another Jumplist.
I don’t understand your 2nd problem.
Can we do left click instead of right click to show up jumplist?
Look a few comments below yours!
Compiled EXE of the jumplist copier scrtipt
http://www.autohotkey.net/~Scratch/jumpman.exe
put in same directory as jumplistlauncher.exe and add jumpman.exe to jumplist
For those of you using this tool, we recently published a complete tutorial about how to use this tool.
http://www.7tutorials.com/how-create-your-own-custom-jump-list
Is it possible to specify a default app or folder to launch if we just left click the app from toolbar? Maybe add some switch to the command to trigger it?
I would love to be able to both left click to launch an app or right click to pull up the custom jumplist.
As of version 7 this feature was included.
Just check the checkbox of the entry you want to be auto-launched.
Awesome, 1 more thing. I’m trying to combine a custom jump list with this utility and a stack from standalonestacks2. I would like left click to launch the stack and right click to launch the custom jump list, but I’m having trouble getting it to work. I can get the stack to launch on left click, or I can setup a jumplist, but when I setup a default left click app my jumplist doesn’t show any of the apps I chose, just the jumplist app itself and configuration options.
Update: Creating jumplist works fine, it’s when I set a default app for the left click that things mess up. When I set the default app, that app is launched on left click, but I lose my other items from the jumplist. Also, clearing the checkbox does not restore my jumplist, I have to delete the settings files and start over.
Great Program, 2 questions:
1) Is it possible to get the programs that get launched from this program to show up as thumnail previews for it, as oposed to their own new taskbar entries?
2) The following File and Parameters wont work:
File Location: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VMware\VMware Remote Console Plug-in\vmware-vmrc.exe”
Parameters: -h server.com -u user -p pass -m “[datastore123] Virtual Machine.vmx”
It throws an error, do the quotes or brackets mess it up?
Thanks!
i don’t know, but a temporal workaround could be to launch a shortcut, containing the parameters instead.
JumplistLauncher does not allow you to choose .LNK files from the dialog but i pick some dummy .txt or other file in the target dir and change the filepath manually
which error is thrown?
Jumplist Launcher does not throw an error, but the vmware player says:
Error opening the remote virtual machine server.com\[datastore123]: The requested virtual machine could not be found.
So it seems that the [space] or possibly the right bracket are being parsed as something else by jumplist launcher.
Not sure if this will help, but if I click the checkbox next to this list item in Jumplist Launcher (making it the left click default) it works fine, it only breaks when clicked form the “pinned” list.
Any idea if you can have the programs “included” in the actual list they come from, meaning they will be grouped with the preview thumbnails of the jumplist launcher instance, instead of opening their own instance in the taskbar?

Improved Autohotkey Jumplist Manager Script, get it at:
http://www.autohotkey.net/~Scratch/jumpman.ahk
Just copy jumpman to a directory containing the jumplistlauncher.exe, add it to a jumplist and you can create new jumplists or copy existing jumplists from there.
Needs: Autohotkey Scripting language:
http://www.autohotkey.com, autohotkey has option AHK2EXE to compile the script to .EXE
Hi Hedgehog,
mit was für einem Programm hast du das Screenvideo gemacht?
Freue mich über eine Antwort
Camtasia Studio.
Leider ist es für die Nachbearbeitung komplett ungeeignet, aber sonst ein super Programm.
Hi… We are using the luncher in the start meny with “create tasklist”
If we copy the settings to multiple computers the “create Tasklist” dissepears and you have to open the application to set it again. Do you have a beta comming with the xml settings soon?
Does the radio buttom disappear or what happens?
Can’t imagine right now what’s wrong.
No there won’t be a beta soon.
I have enough of the Jumplist Launcher right now.
Together with XML-settings there should be support for creating multiple jumplists but that’s not that easy.
Hallo!
Tolles Programm, wo kann ich dir ein Bier hinschicken?
- Bekomme bei V7 beim Save Eine Zugriffsverletzung.
- Reicht es bei einem Update die JumpListCreator.exe zu überschreiben?
Hatte hier Probleme von v6 auf v7 umzusteigen. Musste leider die Liste

good work!
Ja, das Format hat sich geändert, deswegen war eine Neuanlage Pflicht.

“The newly introduced jumplists, which appear when you right-click on an icon in the superbar”.
I’d like to left-click instead of right-click.Could you provide a option to choose?
You can!
Left-click on the superbar-icon then move the mouse up.
This will also show the Jumplist.
Wirklich sehr sehr geiles kleines Tool!
Very nice app, but one problem:
I don’t use the Frequent/Recent feature of the Jumplists, so I set this on 0. This also keeps my Start Menu compact. But the more items I add to the Jumplist, the higher I have to increase the number. In the end this adds a lot of height to my Start Menu and makes it extremely long.
For now, I have to pin all the items so they all show with the “Store and display” features unticked in Start Menu properties, but I lose out on the group names.

building on the concept of [autostart object] in a jumplist, as mentioned above, could itself be a script to call a whole bunch of autostarts, to simplify programming, i am working on a function for that:
; Usage:
;
; autojump( name of your jumplist, [0/1],[0/1],[0/1],[0/1],[0/1])
;
; EXAMPLES:
;
; #include autojump.ahk
; autojump(myjumplist,0,1,1,1) ; will run myjumplistautorun2.ahk and myjumplistautorun3.ahk and myjumplistautorun4.ahk
; autojump(yourjumplist,1,0,0,0,1) ; run yourjumplistautorun1.ahk and yourjumplistautorun5.ahk
;
; Call autojump(autorungroups) in a single line from your jumplists [autorunfile] and the whole autorungroup for that individual jumplist will be activated there
Autojump(jumplist = “none”, autorun2 = 0, autorun3 = 0, autorun4 = 0, autorun5 = 0)
{
Autorundir = c:\users\yourusername\my jumplists\autorun ; location of My Jumplists autorun groups
loop 5
{
if autorun%a_index%
run %autorundir%\%jumplist%autorun%a_index%.ahk
}

This is just a sketch, will improve it…

you can it include as Creater New Jumplist.ahk in a master jumplist and create jumplistas from there, its primitve solution because it just copies a new instance of the launcher to a new folder, but hey, it works
it needs shortcut.exe to create the new link from the commandline, get it here: http://www.optimumx.com/download/#Shortcut
Hi Hedgehog
Thanks for creating a wonderful addition to Windows 7.
I have just one suggestion that may have been mentioned before, but I think it will make your application pretty much perfect! (For me anyway
)
When you left click on the launcher icon on the taskbar, it would be great if you could have a user defined program open. (Maybe this could be achived by adding an executable file to the shortcut’s command line which JumpListLauncher picks up?)
Many Thanks for you efforts so far.
This will be added to one of the next version.
here is a autohotkey script to autorun something when middle button clicked:
autorun= [ ; the script will lock on to an object in the pinlist that starts with the “[” character and execute it
;
; just pin a file/folder/document/shortcut to a pinlist/jumplist and have it start with the autorun character
; it will only execute it you Middle CLick a taskbar item
Mbutton::
click right
sleep 200
send %autorun%{Enter}
sleep 200
click right
return
U can make better version of this script using #Winactive ahk_class Jump List and hotkey modifiers
Hello Hedgehog,
Good job. Your program is very useful. I have been using this after 0.4 version and its great. Some idea from me.
1- I want to add recycle bin and can empty it from your jumplist. (its really need because i dont want to see recycle bin on desktop)
sorry dude, really. Can you find a free icon compatible with aero style (as http://jock2.deviantart.com/art/Staned-Aero-98127172)
2- Your jumplist icon is really bad
3-Thanks
1. Download one of the two following tools:
http://itsvista.com/2007/01/itsvista-tip-23-empty-vistas-recycle-bin-from-the-command-line/
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
and add an entry for them (nircmd with the corresponding command line argument (emptybin).
2. Make a shortcut to JumplistLauncher.exe, change it’s icon and pin that to the superbar
3. You’re welcome

This post was mentioned on Twitter by officesunshine: 7: Microsoft dropped Quick Start; now I can’t quickly access a list of applications. JumpList Launcher to the rescue! http://bit.ly/ggriT...
Hi Hedgehog, i like version 6,
I have some suggestions for future releases:
- Support for Environmentvariables in Filepath of files, like
C:\USERS\%USER%\My Jumplists\… ,%PROGRAMFILES% etc… so that all your jumplist entries keep working when you copy the jumplist to another computer/network, or different actions depending on the user that is logged in, batchfiles that will use %date% to do unattended backups in the weekend etc.
- support for AUTORUN files, when you right click the jumplist, the some entries that are marked autorun [x] will open for instance your agenda in outlook if you have a office jumplist, or load your favorite .VST plugins if you have a soundstudio jumplist
- As mentioned in the previous post, Add/Copy/Delete new jumplists inside the jumplistlauncher itselve. Jumplists would have to be displayed in the collapsable tree folder structure of the jumplistlauncher. Naturally this means that you settings.dat has to changed, either several .dat files, like: Jumplist1.dat, MyJumplist.dat, Yourjumplist.dat, or store all jumplists in a single setting.ini using the standard [block] conventions for inifiles,
These would make the settings.ini (or jumplists.ini) easier accesible for import / export to/from/by other programs, it would become easier to write scripts to export the ini settings to ftp/email etc.
- Alternatively, you could introduce the jump .JMP format a single file that holds all the icons and the menuentries in a single file that could be easily imported/exported between users.
Well, it sure is easier to beg for even more features than doing the hard work of writing them myselves, but its just that your jumplist launcher has so much potential to really personize windows 7 and you are doing great so far.
I forgot to mentios, that for autorun perhaps
the AutorunINFLegacyArrival methode as used by USB sticks can be
applied so, that menuentry containing a standard Autorun.inf will automatically start when you start the menu as windowsregistry will think your menu is some kind of removable device.
Oh, and offcoase the abillity to hide / pw protect some menuentries, not everybody has to be exposed to all the frequently visited adultsite entries in my thump…ehr…jumplist
Thanks for your nice ideas.
1. There won’t be a way to hide or pw-protect fields.
In my eyes it is unneeded complexity which will only be used by small handful of people.
2. So you want something to auto-run when you oben a Jumplist via right-click or what do you mean with auto-run?
I’ll add the possibility to open something via left-click on the Jumplist. This could make up for it.
3. I’ll consider adding support for environmental variables
4. Being able to create multiple Jumplists with only one instance is something I always wanted and it’s very likeley to be included soon.
5. The Jumplist settings file will be changed to XML-format.
Outstanding work!
The only thing to make it all complete, is include the function
ADD Jumplist next to the Add File/Folde/Group buttons so that all your jumplists can be managed within the launcher itself.
Great Stuff, keep it coming.
thank you very much for the latest version at the time win7 was released. but i still have a problem about grouping the apps up. that means, i could only use the “no-caegories” mode.
hope you can better this problem and perfect this wonderful software!
my os is win7 lenovo OEM with the version number of 6.1.7600.16385.
Sehr nützliches Programm!
Allerdings sind bei mir die Icons unscharf (verschwommen) und haben keine Transparenz. Das sogar, wenn ich ein 16×16-only Icon in bester Qualität auswähle. Der JumplistLauncher macht sie trotzdem unscharf.
Version: v5
OS: Windows 7 x64 (final, 7600)
Bitte um Rückantwort. Vielen Dank!
Ich verwende eine Windows-interne Methode um an das Icon einer Datei zu kommen.
Diese verkleinere ich dann manuell wodurch die Unschärfe entsteht.
Bei Datei die Icons beinhalten, könnte ich diese nach einem 16×16-Icon durchsuchen.
Ich schreib mir das einfach mal auf die ToDo-Liste, aber habe nicht besonders viel Zeit die ich dem Projekt zukommen lasse.
Deswegen solltest du nicht allzuschnell Ergebnisse erwarten.
Nettes Programm, allerdings werden bei mir sämtliche Icons verschwommen (unscharf) und ohne Transparenz angezeigt.
great tool… thanx for it.
but why i can’t change the no of list more than 16?? i tried for the taskbar properties and the application option, but can’t get more than 16 to show!!
60 is the natural limit.
Did you change Max Jumplist-Items within Jumplist-Launcher and press ‘Save’ afterwards?
Du musst unbedingt einen Support für Commanline args einbauen

Nice program indeed…however when I add a ‘Techsmith Snagit’ shortcut to it with a ‘command line’ option it ignores it and starts the program in full as opposed to starting it in the systray as it’s supposed to do.
can you shed any light on this please?
Hi,
Congratulations for the app, looks great. I’m trying to run Jumplist Launcher but everytime I try to create Jumplist the app show me this error.
I tried to run the app as root but still fails. I have W7 Ultimate and spanish language.
Do you know waht is the problem?
Thank you very much,
Regards
i have the same exact problem as marcosesperon
I’m still not sure what causes this problem.
The only known workaround is to log on as Admin, create the Jumplist and then use it under your user-account.
I’ll try to have this sorted out before the final version of Windows 7 gets released to the public later this month.
I forgot to say that I’m running 64-bits edition.
Regards
Same issue here. i have 64-bit windows 7 v6.1.7600. Logged in as Admin but still get the error. Can create a tasklist but not a jumplist.
[...] Scarichiamo e lanciamo il file [...]
Nettes Tool. Funktioniert leider nicht! Benutze Win7 7600 Ultimate 64x. Wenn ich auf ein Shortcut etc klicke, passiert leider gar nichts
Erbitte um Antwort.
Hallo!
Ich kann die maximale Anzahl der Jumplist-Items nich veraendern. Man kann uberhaupt nicht darauf klicken.
Was kann ich machen?
Danke
Super Tool.
Nur zwei dinge wäre toll, wurden aber beide schon gesagt. Ich wiederhole die nur nochmal, damit man sieht, dass dies wirklich von mehreren Leuten gewünscht wird
1. funktion der linken und rechten Maustaste tauschen
2. Beliebigen Ordner auf neue Einträge überwachen und diese Automatisch aufnehmen.
Zu 1.
Ich glaub nicht, dass sowas möglich ist, da die Funktionalität von der Windows Superbar bereitgestellt wird:
Linksklick => Anwendung starten
Rechtsklick => Jumplist öffnen
Da kann die Anwendung selbst nicht dran rütteln.
I use the multiple launchers for different groups of programs… Is there a way to change the icon that the launcher shows on the taskbar to something other than the blue folder?
See this page for the cause of the problem that jumplists cannot be created:
http://www.blogsdna.com/2324/how-to-disableclear-recent-mru-items-from-jump-list-of-windows-7.htm
“Store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar” must be CHECKED!

Nice app, I’m using it in RC 7100.
What I’d like to see is an additional option to “watch” a folder, and have the contents of the folder automatically appear in the jumplist.
You could then have a jumplist for the contents of the downloads folder that updates automatically, similar to the downloads stack on the Mac Dock.
Great App. I would like to see the ability to launch an app with parameters.
for instance i use jumplist for games. I have added parameters to the shortcut like screen res, user and pass. Jumplist launcher appears to not have an option for parameters
just add the parametered shortcut to the jumplist-launcher instead of the *.exe apps~~
Hey, cooles Programm! Bin gerade drauf gestoßen.
Verbesserungsideen:
1. ‘Klassichen’ Quicklaunch-Ordner (ehem. Schnellstartleiste) überwachen und automatisch neue Verknüpfungen aufnehmen
2. Beliebigen Ordner überwachen und automatisch neue Verknüpfungen aufnehmen (ok, damit ließe sich dann auch 1. erledigen)
3. Linksklick auf Icon in Superbar sollte selbe Wirkung haben wie Rechtklick (Jumplist anzeigen). Bin mir abern icht sicher, ob das geht. Ich versuche halt, einen anständigen Ersatz für die bisherige Schnellstart-Leiste zu finden und bin daher kein Rechtsklick für eine solche Funktion gewohnt.
Weiter so!
Die Anzahl der max.JumpList Items ist bei mir ausgegraut. So funktionieren nur 10. Wie kann ich das ändern?
Welche Windows 7-Version hast du?
Wenn es ausgegraut ist, heißt das, dass es bei dir den Registry-Eintrag nicht gibt, den ich sonst ändere.
Schick mir eine E-Mail übers Kontakt-Formular, dann können wir näher schauen woran es bei dir liegt!
Version 6.1.7600
Problem selbst gelöst. Rechte Maustaste auf Start–>Eigenschaften–>Starmenü–>Anzahl erhöhen–>fertgi!!!
The new version works for me now, except for the grouping, i have to check the tasklist box or else it doesn’t work, just gives an error saying jumplist can’t be created.
I like the concept of the program, and its basic function, but I would really like to see the ability to redirect its left click and middle click functions to a separate program. Personally, I’m only using it to pack all my browsers into one list so that I can have them at my disposal for testing site compatibility, and the ability to set the default action as launching firefox would be great.
cool app, thanks..
but i have met a problem, that i only can create my jumplist by choosing “no category” mode. that means i can’t group my apps up.
and if i choose category mode, it tells me it can’t create it, and wait for the next update.
how can i figure out this problem thanks very much.
i use jumplist-launcher Ver.5 and my win7 is RTM lenovo OEM.
I’m working on fixing that problem.
You can expect an update next week.

Very nice app, working well on win7 x64 build 7600.
The icon glitch seems happen when Group icon in the tree menu takes the icon of one of the items you add.
Or if you add an item via any method apart from dragging and dropping.
Even with this small problem, the lightweight and responsiveness of the app more than makes up for it.
Thanks again!
Angus
Both issues are now fixed in version 5
Thanks for the feedback.
Love the idea, but i cannot get it to work, have tried and tried unsuccessfully to create jumplists for Office and CS4, on the couple of times that i got an actual jumplist none of the apps would launch when clicked.
Running Windows 7 Build 7600 x86
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Kann ich bestätigen. Die Version 4 funktioniert nicht korrekt mit der Finalen RTM Version!
Ich kriege die RTM erst in einigen Tagen über meine MSNDAA-Lizenz.
So lange müsst ihr euch noch gedulden.
Was heißt denn “funktioniert nicht korrekt”
Danke, aber das Toll funktioniert nicht mit der Final RTM von Win7!
Wtf? Warum kommentiert hier jede Sau auf Enlisch? Bin ich hier nicht auf einem deutschen Blog?
Einige Posts liegen in 2 Sprachen vor, weil ich damit mehr Leute erreiche.
Daher sind Kommentare in verschiedenen Sprachen nicht so dramatisch.
I’ve not read all comments… I would like a little feature for this good app.
It would be great to show a right click menu to run, for example, a program as admin or open link file location from every apps ticked in the jumplist…
Thanks
As of now, this seems impossible, but I’ll do some research to find out if that is possible somehow.
It would be great, if a left click on the icon would open specified programme. e.g. left click opens thunderbird (and not the settings dialog for JL), right click opens jumplist with items like create new mail, fetch mail, …, and one jumplist item should be configure jumplist and open the settings dialog.
With a feature like this, a programme not especially designed for Windows 7 can have a jumplist just like ie8, WMP and so on.
Otherwise it looks NICE! Keep up the great work.
Just a suggestion.. I really like the way this works and incorporates into Windows, but considering the intended use of this feature I think it would be useful to have the ability to switch mouse button commands for the jump list. i.e.: left-click to open the list and right-click to view list properties. Thanks for the great app!
This sounds logical.
There must be a way to realize this.
I will look for it.
I really like the idea of this program, Ali,
I just have to get it working for me. I also get the error “Couldnt create the jumplist,. Please wait for the next update to fix this issue.â€
I noticed that I can not change the Max Jumplist-Items – could it have to do with that?
You talk about pinning it to the task bar – bit I can pin it to the start menu as well, can’t I?
Cheers
Merlin
Oh my bad – using X64 7100
Hey
Came across it today but on clicking create jumplist i get:
“Couldnt create the jumplist,. Please wait for the next update to fix this issue.”
Problem is i dont know what the issue is. Im just trying to create an office list with word, access… in a group called office. Tried the icons and the exe’s in the install and no difference. Tried just adding one text file and that made no difference either.
Thanks for the effort though!
Previous problem solved, I’d set it to ‘remove recent documents on reboot’.
Dan – instead of using the jumplist launcher to find the files, open a separate explorer window and drop the files into the launcher.
@kim and the rest
People, do NOT use it in a directories with “spaces” in their names.
Than it shouldn’t be a problem.
do: “c:\jumplist\…” for example
do NOT: “C:\Program Files (x86)\…”
Good “programm”, thank you very much.
Regards
Working in
Windows 7 x64
#7264
Everytime I add an item, it uses the default folder icon. If i then change the icon and select Apply Changes to Item, it changes the icon for every entry to the one i have selected. Its really frustrating me, as it obviously works fine for other people. Any ideas?
Hey, great app. I’ve used this on 7260 x86 and now 7264 x86, and in both, every time I reboot the jumplist ceases to function. Any idea’s?
Thanks,
David
#1 Good, but always less natural than a simple left-click
#2 No, my id is rather a setting that automatically check a particular directory; The quick launch directory (C:\Users\”user”\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch) is supported by most installer, so i wouldn’t have to manually add the shortcut
#3 I had not read it but after some tries it doesn’t seem to work on my side. I have try normal list and tasklist, shortcut and exe files: No new item in the list and no error.
No hablo español.
Soy uno de Personas que estoy acostumbrado en usar productos de Microsoft. Se suponen que las nuevas versiones siempre deben ser mejor que las anteriores, teniendo en consideracion los famosos virus, las nuevas programas deben ser menos accesible para virus y mas robustos en su trabajo; lo que sucede que inviertimos mucho dinero y en poco tiempo ya esta con virus ó es el caso de que algunos programas que lanza Microsoft para su venta, lo hacen pequeños cambio y/o modifican y de esta forma lugran con mucho dinero, sin importarle que en el mundo invertimos muchos dinero para estos cambios, que la mayoria somos de nivel económico bajo.´¿Como quisiera que alguen me apoye con este idea o alguÃen que tenga otra mejor?
Haven’t added stuff manually for a while – I’ll check this out
For the requests:
#1: You can already open the jumplists with a left-click. You just need to click on the taskbar icon, then hold the mouse-button and pull the cursor up. The jumplist will appear.
#2: So when you drag a folder on the form it should look for shortcuts inside of it or what?
#3: You should read the blog-entry for Version 3. I already added that feature.
A bug report:
Manually add items don’t work properly: corrupt data, no icon, strange group behaviour.
Dropped items work fine
(7100 rc – JumplistLauncher v4)
And tree requests:
- like Jay i would like to open the jumplist with a left-click (and something like ctrl-left click to open JumplistLauncher itself)
- retreive all shortcuts in a folder (eg: Quick Launch Folder)
- drag & drop shortcuts directly on the taskbar icon
And many thanks for this app
Version 4 released.
@olegbl:
done
I tried it on Windows 7 build 7229 x64 and everything works fine
if anyone still can’t create jumplists, then tell me so.
[...] Jumplist-Launcher – eigene Jumplist in Windows 7 erstellen [...]
P.S. Ali, couldn’t you use “Application Tasks” type for the created items instead of “Custom/Recent Documents” to remove dependency upon maximum number of recent items displayed? (Though, it would remove the pinning ability.)
If you’re getting the iconInfo.dat message, create an “icons” folder in the application directory, and try again.
I’m getting the same iconInfo.dat message. I really wanted to use this =(
I keep getting the same error when trying to create jumplist.
Datei “C:\Program Files (x86)\JumpList\icons\iconInfo.dat” kann nicht erstellt werden. The system cannot find the path specified.
Oops – also, I should add that I am running Windows 7 RC Build 7100 64bit….
Tom,
I too am seeing the unable to find the IconInfo.dat file. I have the program extracted to its own directory, but trying to create my first jumplist is proving to be harrowing….
[...] Jumplist-Launcher – eigene Jumplist in Windows 7 erstellen [...]
Excellent job!!
It would be really nice to launch a whole group…
(maybe by clicking on the name… or with a “false” first shortcut -’Launch All’)
Is that feasible?
Thanks for the tool Ali, it works great on my x32 machine ;D
It says it cannot find the file IconInfo.dat when clicking on Create JumpList
Windows 7 RC – 64bit
@Nik: For now just reboot and try it again.
Without peoples comments I certainly wouldn’t be able to fix all the stuff.
@maverick: I’m already working on that, but its not as easy as it sounds.
@henry, @Nik: The error won’t appear anymore in the next version.
This is just registry related, so its not connected to the Jumplist, not being created.
I’ll install another version of Windows 7 to be able to reproduce the erroneous Jumplist creation.
And something went wrong just again =)
I was unhappy with the folder i unpacked the files at. So i released the Program from the taskbar, and tried to move the folder. Now i can’t pin it anymore. Well, i can pin it by dragging the Launcher file onto the taskbar, but then the jumplists won’t work. Pinning it, by rightclicking the icon while it is running does not work, there is no context menu coming up when i right click. Then i deleted the whole folder and unpacked it again. But that does not work either. Also there is no “Fehler beim Holen…” Error.
Sorry for all the comments, but i just can’t wait to use the program!
I just tried again, and did as you said: Pin it to the taskbar while it is running. And that works fine. Before i closed the app and pinned it afterwards.
So it works even though i get the “Fehler beim Holen der Daten…” Error.
Still Win 7 RC 7100.
@Ali: I tested this on a few machine I had… they’ve all run through windows update.
build 7127 x32 – Runs fine. No issues.
build 7127 x64 – I get the error dialog “Fehler beim Holen der Daten fur ‘Start_JumpListItems’. Program launched after the error dialog and I continued to configure it. No items in jumplist.
build 7229 x64 – There are no items in the jumplist. The tool itself runs fine with no issues.
build 7229 x64 on vmware – Error dialog “Fehler beim Holen der Daten fur ‘Start_JumpListItems’. Program launched after the error dialog and I continued to configure it. Items do show up in jumplist.
Really nice app! Just wish I could add multiple JumpLists without having mutliple copies of the program. Otherwise, awesome!
Thanks for making this app.
you need to rightclick on the taskbar-item while Jumplist-Launcher ist running and pin it to the taskbar.
Does not work for me on Windows 7 RC1 x64. After making a list I click create and close the options window the icon on my task bar disappears.
@Nik: I’ll add some error-handling in the next version. Hopefully we can spot the error.
@Jay: send me the German errors if you find some more
It’s currently impossible to not have them tief, because Windows 7 uses the same registry value for them. However I’m sure this will change in the final of 7.
Why do you want to see the jumplist if you left-click on it while you already see it when you right-click on it?
I could imagine adding the option to choose a default program/file which open if you left-click on the taskbar-entry.
@henry: That’s interesting. Are there any errors or just doesn’t appear the jumplist after creating it in the tool?
Works great on Win7 build 7127 32-bit but does not work on build 7229 64-bit.
I love the concept. I’ve been able to get it to work, but it was a little rough. (For example, I clicked on “Create Jumplist” but at first still couldn’t see my shortcuts in the jumplist, several times I got errors in German, etc.)
First, if at all possible, I would really like to have the number of jumplist items not tied to the global number of “most recent” jumplist items. I have my default set at 5 for a reason, so this one’s really important for me. Surely there’s a way. (Yes, I know you can pin as many shortcuts as you want, but them you don’t get the nice grouping.)
Second, it would be very nice to disable the main shortcut icon itself. Perhaps you could make it so that if the main icon is clicked, instead of launching Jumplist Launcher, it instead opens the jumplist? This would be particularly helpful because I’ve already settled on using JL mostly as a program pinned to the start menu (as opposed to the taskbar). It be awesome if clicking on the main icon showed the list of jumplist items!
Thanks for a great program and I look forward to further updates making it easier, more reliable, and more flexible.
I run Windows 7 RC Build 7100
‘Create Jumplist’ seems to work. It creates some files in the folder, when i click on it.
But there are no Jumplists, when i attach it to the Taskbar.
It looks for the entry ‘Start_JumpListItems’ in the registry but it obviously can’t find it.
I’ll threat this differently in the next version.
Which build of Windows 7 do you run?
Does ‘Create Jumplist’ work or give another error?
I get an
“Fehler beim Holen der Daten für ‘Start_JumpListItems’
Error when i try to run the file.
I get to the Configuration Screen, but it does not seem to work.
I’ll look into it
Most bugs are known to me.
Especially the corruption of data is something which happens quite often.
And now it is working after deleting and adding all files again… It is a good app but you need to fix some bugs.
It is not working at all in Windows 7 RC1 x64 version. Here is the error it gives when clicked Create Jumplist.

Hey Brandon, been in love with your Start++ since day 1.
Yeah the tool still needs some polishing and fixing.
Would you rather have the ability to add parameters yourself?
So if you drag .lnk files into it, it resolves the lnk file to it’s original executable and carries over its attributes?
Cool tool!
My first suggestion would be to fix it so that it doesn’t resolve shortcuts to their targets. I wanted to add a group of .lnk files which all launch the same executable but with different parameters. Instead I just got three links to the executable, all with folder icons for some reason.

I will release Version 2 tonight which will have the ability to use more than 10 entries.
However you need to set that in Windows so far:
