I don't recall seeing this one mentioned here so I have to wonder: am I the only one who uses the Windows 7 jump lists?
More times than I can recall I've edited a document and then saved it someplace other than where I thought it was, or with a different name than I thought. So when I need to go back to something I recently edited, I just hover over the application on the Win7 start menu and there it is in the list of recent documents. One more click and it's open.
Yes, I know I can open the application (like Word or Excel) and get a list of recent documents that way, but from the jump list it's just a matter of hovering the mouse, clicking on the document name, and *presto* it's open for me. Since the jump list also typically includes the file location that's handy too: if it isn't where I want it to be I don't need to open it - I can find it in Explorer and move it from there.
Maybe this feature does really exist in Win8 someplace (out of the box, that is - not including a third-party app)? If so, where and how do I use it?
