Microsoft has put in all its efforts to make life easier with Windows 7. Among the handy things in Windows 7, I found a new one, the Jump list. In Windows 7 you can easily access and open frequently used files or recently opened documents associated with the particular application or program, just with a right click or by sliding up the program button on the Taskbar.
