The Windows taskbar doesn’t limit you to opening programs and switching between windows. You can jump to other tasks, as well, by right-clicking the taskbar’s icons. Right-clicking the File Explorer icon, for example, brings up a quick list of your recently visited folders, as shown in Figure 3-5. Click any folder on the list to make a quick return visit. Similarly, right-click the Edge app to see the last few websites you’ve visited.

Called Jump Lists, these pop-up menus add a special trick to the taskbar: They let you quickly jump to previously visited locations, letting you work more efficiently.

Jump List items work any time, even when a program is closed. As long as a program’s icon appears on the taskbar, you can access its Jump List. So even if you haven’t opened File Explorer, for example, you can still right-click its taskbar icon and jump to a recently visited folder.
