Some applications are caching Jump List data, so ensure that the associated application is closed before editing Jump Lists;
else these applications could restore the cached content, overriding your changes.
|
 |
To avoid any data loss, original files are moved to the Windows recycle bin before any change.
So if anything goes wrong, you can still recover your original files from the Windows recycle bin
|
|
If you are concerned by privacy, as original files are moved to the Windows recycle bin before any change,
you have to delete theses backup files from the Windows recycle bin

Notice: Selecting an entry container will disable sorting operation
Notice: The Jump List with empty content (no links inside the Jump List) are highlighted in blue.
