Detailed Description

Jump Lists, as an new feature since Windows 7, are lists of recently opened items, such as files, folders, or websites, which are organized by the program that the user use to open them. Jump Lists don't just show shortcuts to files. Sometimes they can also provide quick access to tasks. With this class, you can access the recent and frequent category in the jump lists. You can also set the tasks category of the Jump Lists of your application. What's more, you can add custom category to them.
