Delete or Clear Jumplist Recent Items in Windows 7

 

Delete or Clear Jumplist Recent Items in Windows 7

Posted on December 17, 2009 at 5:06 am

Back in the days, I wrote an article on how to clear the recent documents list in Windows XP. If you ever went to My Recent Documents in the Start Menu, you used to get a list of all the files you recently opened!

If you’re a privacy freak who doesn’t want someone random to see what kind of documents  you were opening, this came in pretty handy! However, with Windows 7, there is a new feature called a Jumplist. You can read my previous post on how to create your own jumplists.

With Jumplists, that functionality basically moved from the Start Menu to the Taskbar! For example, if you open several Word documents and then right-click on the Word icon in the taskbar, you’ll get the following:

clear windows 7 jumplists

Hmm, maybe you didn’t want anyone to see that marriage proposal Word doc! Ok, bad example, but you see my point. The jumplist has a list of recent documents opened in Word. Great if you want quick access to a Word doc without having to browse in Windows Explorer, but not great if you want to hide this information.

Now this is just Word! Each program can have it’s own list of recent documents or files or whatever else that show up. The only obvious way to delete the entries from the jumplist right now is to right-click on an item and choose Remove from this list.

remove jumplist items

This is pretty painful for many different apps! Luckily, there is an easier way to remove multiple items from many jumplists at once. All recent items in any jumplists are stored by Windows in a hidden location. You can get to them here:

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

Copy and paste that into Windows Explorer. Now you will see a list of files with very long and convoluted names. This is because they are all encoded. Each one represents a list of recent items for a particular jumplist.

It’s impossible to tell which entries go with which jumplists unless you open the file in a text editor and browse through. However, since all of the files are just recent items in a jumplist, you can delete all the files and it will clear all recent items on all jumplists.

You can also run a simple command from the command prompt to do the same thing:

del %appdata%\microsoft\windows\recent\automaticdestinations\*

You can then add this to a Windows batch file and run it by just double-clicking on the shortcut. You can read my previous post on how to create Windows batch files. [via gHacks]

Big Cartoon Blog- Cartoons News and Animated Film Information

 

Big Cartoon Blog- Cartoons News and Animated Film Information

The Big Car­toon Data­Base Blog Site.
This project started because we were bored. And, we wanted an easy way to look up infor­ma­tion about car­toons, a ded­i­cated car­toon fil­mog­ra­phy and in depth episode guide. While IMdb is very good for movies, and has some car­toon infor­ma­tion, it did not seem to us to be enough. So, we decided to make some­thing that did suit our needs, The Big Car­toon Data­Base (and lots of long nights) ensued.
First and fore­most, this is a labor of love. No one gets paid a dime for doing this fil­mog­ra­phy— in fact, we loose money monthly just run­ning the darn thing. But it is some­thing we enjoy, and so we will keep doing it, updat­ing and adding every chance we get. While the project started as a cou­ple of guys in Salt Lake City with too much time on their hands, we are very indebted to those oth­ers– who, like us, love car­toons– and have given freely of their time, hard work and research to help make The Big Car­toon Data­Base what it is today.

BCDB started as an Access data­base on my work com­puter. I had a list of all the Dis­ney fea­ture car­toons (peo­ple often ask me what the “offi­cial” list is, so I kept my own copy). Then I found a fil­mog­ra­phy of about 5000 car­toons that Nobuo Mochizuki main­tains at Shizuoka Uni­ver­sity Library in Japan. Nobuo was very kind and sent us his source, and we had enough info to get started. Since then, infor­ma­tion, car­toon his­tory and episode guides has come from all over the world– Aus­tralia, United King­dom, France, Japan— even Rus­sia. Sup­port has come from fans and pro­fes­sion­als alike, and we could not be more grate­fully for all the sup­port.
We have done our best to val­i­date the infor­ma­tion in the fil­mog­ra­phy. But some­times that can be hard to do, espe­cially for older car­toons. Please con­sider any errors in the data­base ours. How­ever, if you notice errors, it is pos­si­ble to send an error report for an indi­vid­ual car­toon right from its page. We want to do our best to make this the most infor­ma­tive, cor­rect resource possible!
But infor­ma­tion by itself is not use­ful if you can­not present it in an easy to use (and easy to main­tain) fash­ion. We needed scal­a­bil­ity, speed, secu­rity, speed, con­fig­ura­bil­ity and speed. We found all this (and more!) at Gos­samer Threads with Links SQL. While built as a “Links” data­base, àla Yahoo, it pro­vided the basis for what we turned into BCDB. And the sup­port has been tremen­dous– Alex is always avail­able to help in emer­gen­cies. And the online sup­port groups– most notably Pug­dog and Paul– have really helped us craft the episode guide and filmography.

APPS from USA.gov

APPS

 

Government apps provide information when you're on the go. Find instant notification of recalls to the status of veterans benefits. USA.gov is working hard to make government easy, convenient, and accessible.

What is an app?

An app, short for "application," is a tool that helps you accomplish a task or find information. The apps in the USA.gov app store are designed to work on your mobile phone. Some need to be downloaded to your phone while others can be accessed using your phone's web browser.

How much do apps cost?

All the apps featured currently are free. Charges from your cell phone carrier may apply.

Can apps access my personal information?

Review the terms of services page or privacy policy for each app to learn if and how it uses personal information. Most apps cannot access your personal information.

Are your apps available for iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Nokia, etc.?

The apps featured in our gallery were developed by government agencies on a variety of platforms. Currently, we have apps for iPhone, Android and Blackberry. A lot of our apps are mobile-friendly websites, which means they can be accessed by any device. Each agency works one-on-one with the separate platform and signs a terms of service agreement with them, so it is up to the individual agency to decide which platform to use. At this time, there is no coordinated plan to offer each and every app on every platform.

Whom do I contact if I have problems with an app?

If you have problems with an app from the U.S. government, please send us an e-mail.

Whom do I contact if I have an idea for an app or would like to submit an app to this site?

If you have a suggestion, please send us an email. We review suggestions according to our Apps Policy.

Measure of America: American Human Development Project

 

Measure of America: American Human Development Project

The American Human Development Project provides easy-to-use yet methodologically sound tools for understanding the distribution of well-being and opportunity in America and stimulating fact-based dialogue about issues we all care about: health, education, and living standards.

The hallmark of this work is the American Human Development Index, an alternative to GDP and other money metrics that tells the story of how ordinary Americans are faring and empowers communities with a tool to track progress over time. The Index is comprised of health, education, and income indicators and allows for well-being rankings of the 50 states, 435 congressional districts, county groups within states, women and men, and racial and ethnic groups.

Through national and state reports, thematic briefs, and the project’s interactive website, the American Human Development Project aims to breathe life into numbers, using data to create compelling narratives that foster greater understanding of our shared challenges and greater support for people-centered policies. The Project was founded in 2006, and became an initiative of the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) in 2008.

The Project is made possible through the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation‘s matching grant, which will match every dollar you donate–effectively doubling your contribution. Click on this secure link to donate today (please note this will direct you to the SSRC website).

 

The maps are the great interactive part….

The Measure of America

How is opportunity distributed in America? Are we falling behind other affluent democracies? Which groups are surging ahead and which face the greatest risks? Which congressional districts enjoy the highest—and lowest—levels of well-being?
