Jump Lists, a new feature introduced in Windows 7, in which a list of destinations and common tasks associated with an application is attached to that application’s taskbar button. For example, if you right-click on the Notepad application button in the Taskbar, you’ll see the list of most recently opened text files. However, using the Jump Lists feature to add multiple applications in a single Taskbar icon (as a launch pad), is not possible natively. There is a program named Jumplist-Launcher which makes this task possible.

Download Jumplist-Launcher, unzip the contents to a folder and then run the executable.

Add as many programs and folders (up to 60) as you need, and click the Create Jumplist button.

Right-click on the Jumplist-Launcher executable and click Pin to Taskbar.

Your custom Jump List is now ready. Simply right-click on the Jumplist Launcher Taskbar button to see the list of programs you added.

Download Jumplist-Launcher (472 KB) from Ali’s Dünnpfiff’s site.

    Wouldn’t just enabling the QuickLaunch toolbar be easier?
