HOW TO DELETE ALL RECENT HISTORY IN WINDOWS 7 JUMP LISTS

                        Windows 7 has a new option which is  called jump list. This new option is helpful for us to easily access various functions which are accessed by us. Jump Lists, which is popping up and displayed whenever user right clicks on an icon or button on Taskbar. It is also shows recent items that opened or closed by the app, or frequently used or most visited items by the program.


                       By clicking the file name in the Jump list we can directly access the file. This is a useful one only, but if we are using public computers means we have to delete such a history to protect our work.
                       We can delete the file name from the Jump list by Right clicking on the file name and click "Remove From This List" However we can delete only one file name at a time.


                       If we want to delete all the history from all the programs means we have a simple way. Copy and paste the following line in windows address bar. 

%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

                        This will open a folder which contains only automaticDestination-ms files. The files store the information of recent items to display on the Jump Lists. 


                       As all the file names are similar we can't identify that which file belongs to which program. So if we want to delete all the history means delete all the files in the folder. This will delete all your History from Jump lists.

                                     Hope you like this post, thank you for reading, give me comments below.
