Windows 7 Jumplists - How to turn off for Windows Explorer ONLY in taskbar

This post suggests that you:

Clearing the recent documents history clears the Jump Lists MRU as well. Use these steps:

• Right-click on the Taskbar (Superbar) and choose Properties

• In the Start Menu tab, uncheck the following option:

  

• Click Apply

This clears the recent documents history and the Jump Lists MRU. The Pinned items are not cleared.

I tried it out and it works for Explorer, but off course this will also go for all the other jump lists. Until I find a hack that does it, you will either have to disable everything or live with your relatives seeing where you've been ;-)

Off course, you could disable the function and use someting like 7stack or JumpLauncher to create the jump list you want. Also making sure it only shows what you want!

Or keep an eye out for the Windows 7 blog where they go into the details of the API. It shouldn't be long before you can hack the registry to get what you need.
