I have been missing my MS Word Jump Lists something awful since using Win 8 full time and I spent some time trying to simulate them on the Start Screen. I have found something that comes close and would like a sanity check from the community.
In the Win8(C)/Users/MyName/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Office/Recent folder are stored all of the files that show in a Jump List for an Office application in the File Explorer Task Bar, if that application is pinned to the taskbar. I am referring of course to Word, Excel, etc. One can go to that folder named "Recent" and right click and Pin to Start. Then, when you click on the tile called "Recent" on the Start Screen you have your choice of all the files in the jump list. Just click the one you want to work on and it opens in the appropriate app just as if you did this on the desktop taskbar.
Comments? Improvements?
Thanks,
SR
