Remember the JumpList and Pinning up shortcuts we have discussed before? Well Reader Dan at Lifehacker has found another great way to popup the Jump-list by using left mouse button. Read on to know how…

The Basic trick:

Not that much geeky, actually very simple to use!!

  • Just left click on a taskbar icon and hold it

  • Now see the magic! The JumpList will fade-in on your mouse tip!

Also I have made a vide which you can see below!

Advantages:

Well, treating this as a new tip it is always fun discovering! Whereas if you are a multi-screen or even a touch-screen monitor user then surely you are going to enjoy this cool feature. Just press the icon and drag it out! Quite sophisticated isn’t it?
