Among all the useful features that Windows 7 brought to its users, Jump-list probably tops the list of most used ones. It lets you quickly access most frequently used functions and tasks of an application without cluttering your desktop with shortcuts. You might have noticed that some applications have separate sections in their jump-lists. For instance, if you access the Jump-list of Google Chrome, you have Most Visited, Recently Closed and Tasks sections divided by separators. However, you don’t see any explicit option to insert these separators yourself while pinning files, folders or applications to Windows 7 superbar. In this article, we will guide you through the process of adding custom separators in a Jump list.
To insert a separate in a Jump list, first create a new folder and rename it to 36 underscores “____________________________________”.
Right-click the folder, open Properties, go to Customize tab and select Change icon.
Select the blank icon and click OK. Select OK in the Properties dialog box to save the changes.
Now, just drag the folder to the Windows Explorer icon in taskbar to Pin it. You can drag it to any position of your choice (only under Pinned section) to use it as a separator. Isn’t that easy!
