Launching items from the Windows Jump List

You can use the Windows Jump List to quickly open recently-used Desktops, Dashboards, and Dynamic Reports. You can also pin these items to the Jump List for future access.

Jump Lists are available in Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista. They are not available in Windows XP.
