Windows 7 New Features

Q. I just got a new computer (Windows 7) and I’m looking for some of the new features. Do you have a recommendation?

A. Windows 7 has features that were not available in XP or Vista. One of the new features is called “Jump Lists”, which is another shortcut method.

Move your mouse to the Windows 7 task bar (lower left, bottom of your screen) and right-mouse click on one of the icons. What appears above the icon is a “Jump List”. Depending on the icon, the “Jump List” may vary.

For example, if you right-click on the Windows Explorer icon, your “Jump List” will show most recently opened documents and files.

If you right-click on the Internet Explorer icon, then the “Jump List” will show frequently visited web sites.
