Add a Program to the Taskbar and Use a Jump List – Windows 7

Windows 7 gives you the ability to add a program to the Taskbar, so with one click you can start that program. Once the program icon appears on the Taskbar, you can right mouse click the icon to see a list of recently used files. To open one of the files, it’s just a matter of left clicking on it.

If you frequently use a file, you can pin that file to the Jump List so it never goes away, no matter how many subsequent files  you open.
