Winblows question

Homeslice · 02-11-2010, 04:38 PM

A few years ago I used to be able to set the taskbar so that I could just click on an application button and it would take me to the last file I was working on. Instead of having to scroll and pick which of the files in the application I want to open.

How do I get it to do that again?

I'm looking but it appears there are only 2 options.........Have one button in the taskbar for every single file you've got open.........which is annoying because they multiply and become so tiny you can't read them...........Or, group all files from one app together in one button (so for example there's only one button for Excel even though you've got 5 Excel files open, and you have to scroll and pick the one you want to open.........takes too long and is annoying).

I think it helps if we know what version of winblows you're running.

xp, vista or windows 7. In XP and I assume the other are like this, click start, then my recent documents, and there is your list. 2 clicks to open the document you want. pretty easy.

That's OK but still not as quick as just hitting the app button
