Windows 7 introduced the Jumplist feature, which is really a quick way to open programs, files, and folders. All you need to do is pin the respective application to the taskbar, then access Jumplist by right-clicking on the program’s taskbar icon.
Now, if you have been using this feature, you must have also noticed the division of Tasks, Frequent, Pinned and basic options (at the bottom of the list). For example, if you’ve pinned Firefox to the taskbar, its Jumplist will display Tasks (to open a new tab or window), Frequent (frequently visited sites), and Pinned (websites that people visit). use pins).
The image shows such a list for the Windows Explorer icon. While certain categories are separated by default, users do not have the option to add a custom separator to group their tasks. Today we will tell you how to do it. We first learned about this trick in an article at The How-To Geek and found it interesting enough to share it with our readers here. So read on.
Steps to add Custom Separator to Jumplist
For this example, we will create a separator for the explorer Jumplist. You can also follow the same process for others.
Step 1: Create a new folder and name it with about thirty to thirty-five underscores (for line separators) or dashes (for dotted line delimiters).
Step 2: Right click on this folder and go to Property. On the dialog window for properties navigate to custom navigation.
Step 3: Under Folder icon click Change icon button. Now choose a blank icon for this and press Alright. Apply settings.
Step 4: Drag this folder and drop it on the browser icon on the taskbar when it says “Pin to Windows Explorer”.
Step 5: Your entry will appear in the Pinned section and it will look like a separator. You can move it up and down to organize or group other things (in the Pinned section only).
Note 1: If you want to remove the separator, you can unpin it from the Jumplist just like you would unpin any other file or folder.
Note 2: You can style your separator using any other symbol, letter, or character you like. For example: ——–X——– or ############ or anything else.
Note 3: If you want to create a separator for any other application or program, you can create a file and drop it on the pinned icon.
Conclusion
This is a useful workaround if you find yourself using the Jumplist feature quite often. It provides easy access to some frequently used folders or bookmarks that you may have accessed in some other way that may require more steps.
