                     Windows 7 provides you a new Taskbar with Jump List facility. As in the previous Windows versions Taskbar shows the current opened files and programs, in Windows 7 taskbar also shows a Jump list of recently opened files.

You may not always require this feature due to privacy issues. So I am here to tell you how you can Disable Taskbar Jump Lists.

The Steps are:
1. Right-click on the Taskbar. Select properties.
2. Click on the Start Menu tab and uncheck "Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar".

3. Click Ok and now the jump list will not be visible. The screen shot below shows that Internet Explorer no longer shows the browser historyafter disabling the Jump List.
