jump-lists-100409874-galleryHere is a quick tip that can save you valuable time when opening your frequently accessed, or often used documents!

Most of us have a few Excel spreadsheets, Word documents or any other document you access frequently. Today you may be opening the parent application and then opening the file from the frequently accessed list. Alternatively you may have created a document shortcut on your desktop.

Here is better way that will not clutter your desktop and will save you valuable time each time you open those often accessed files! 

Screenshot 2015-02-16 10.17.22Create a shortcut or “Pin” your often used programs to the taskbar as shown to the left. Once that is done you will find that when you right click on one of your shortcuts on the taskbar you will see a list of often accessed documents, specific to that application. Right click on those that you want to permanently pin and select “Pin this to list”.

Now those favorites documents are just a “Click-Away”.

You can also directly pin a document by simply dragging it onto the program’s taskbar icon

This works around the inability to pin individual folders to the taskbar.

OK lets get to it – Pin those often accessed files today, and get Clicking!
