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.

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?

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 !!!!

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?

EOleException error raised, with message: Unbekannter Fehler

Windows 7 Ultima x64

Hey Ali,

danke für das Progam, aber ich kann es nich “pinnen”. Sehe nur die Vorschau für die Einstellungen. Benutze Win7 Ultimate 32 Bit.

I cannot change the JumpList Icon !! (only the entries’ icon)

Please add that feature.

The path and parameter below will not work, although they will work on a normal shortcut.

C:\WWOLF\BCut.exe /M c:\mcube

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.

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.

Feature request:

Ability to copy an item btwn multiple jumplists

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?
