Get a jump on your files: Windows 7 jump lists

In Windows 7, jump lists are a list of the files you have opened recently from an application. These appear on the Start menu when you point at the application. Click on the file name and the file will open.

But wait... there's more! If you have a file you want to have quick access to, "pin" it to the list. Slide your mouse over the file name, and then click on the pushpin you see to the right of the name. The file will now appear at the top of the recent list. If you need to remove a file name from the list, just click the push pin again to "un-pin" it.
