以前，我写过一篇关于如何在Windows中清除最近项目列表的文章。如果您将“ 最近项目(Recent Items) ”选项添加到“开始”菜单(Start Menu)，您或其他任何人都可以看到您最近打开的所有文件！
如果您是一个隐私狂(privacy freak)，不想让其他人看到您打开的文件类型，那么清除此列表是必不可少的！但是，从 Windows 7开始，引入了一项称为Jump List的新功能。您可以阅读我以前的帖子以了解跳转列表的工作原理。
使用跳转列表(Jump Lists)，该功能基本上从开始菜单移至(Start Menu)Windows 8和Windows 10的任务栏！例如，如果您打开多个Word文档，然后右键单击任务栏中的Word 图标(Word icon)，您将看到以下列表：
对于像网络浏览器(web browser)这样的东西来说，情况更糟。当我右键单击任务栏中的Chrome 图标(Chrome icon)时，我很惊讶地看到了我最常访问的网站和最近关闭的标签的列表！
如果没有其他人使用您的计算机，那很好，否则就像快速浏览您的个人资料一样！显然，Microsoft出于方便的目的创建了此功能，因此您可以轻松打开您经常访问的网页或您最近处理的文件。
每个程序都必须单独支持此功能才能查看列表。如果程序不(program doesn)支持Jump Lists，则当您右键单击该图标时将看不到任何内容。
清除单个跳转列表项
现在，当涉及到删除Jump List中的项目时，有几种方法可以解决。首先，让我们从从列表中删除单个项目开始。删除一个项目的一种简单方法是只需右键单击该项目并选择“从此列表中删除”(Remove from this list)。
显然，这只是为了清除少量项目。如果删除所有项目，则必须在Windows中配置设置。执行此操作的过程因您使用的Windows版本而异。(Windows)我将向您展示如何在Windows 7和Windows 10中执行此操作。
在 Windows 7 中关闭跳转列表
要防止Windows在任务栏中存储和显示最近项目列表，您首先需要右键单击任务栏并选择Properties。
现在单击开始菜单选项卡(Start Menu tab)，然后取消选中存储并在开始菜单和任务栏(Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar)框中显示最近打开的项目。
单击确定(Click OK)，为最近打开的项目存储的所有数据将被删除。现在，当您右键单击任务栏中的任何程序时，将不会显示任何个人数据。请注意，这是清除所有存储数据并从头开始的好方法。
如果需要，您可以再次选中该框，它将开始存储最近打开的项目，但从一个全新的状态开始。显然，如果您不想让 Windows 存储您的历史记录，请不要选中它。
在 Windows 10 中关闭跳转列表
在Windows 10中，该过程已更改。如果您右键单击任务栏并转到Properties，您会看到甚至不再有“开始菜单”选项卡(Start Menu tab)。
对于Windows 10，您必须先单击开始(Start)，然后单击设置(Settings)。然后点击个性化(Personalization)。
单击(Click)左侧菜单(Start)中的开始，然后单击开始时在跳转列表中显示最近打开的项目或任务栏(Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar)切换按钮，使其显示为Off。
手动清除跳转列表
任何跳转列表(Jump List)中的所有最近项目 都由Windows存储在一个隐藏位置，您可以在Windows 7或更高版本中通过在资源管理器中浏览到以下文件夹位置(folder location)来访问该位置：
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
将其复制并粘贴(Copy and paste)到Windows 资源管理器中，然后按 enter(Windows Explorer and press enter)。现在您将看到一个名称非常长且复杂的文件列表。这是因为所有的Jump List都被编码了。每个文件代表特定程序 Jump List的最近项目列表。
除非您在文本编辑器(text editor and browse)中打开文件并浏览它，否则不可能知道哪些条目与哪些跳转列表(Jump Lists)一起使用。但是，由于所有文件都只是Jump List中的最近项目，因此您可以删除所有文件，它将清除所有Jump Lists中的所有最近项目。
这些都是您可以从Windows中的(Windows)跳转列表(Jump List)中清除最近项目列表的所有不同方式。如果您有任何问题，请随时发表评论。享受！
Delete or Clear Jump List Recent Items in Windows 7, 8 & 10
Back in the days, I wrote an аrticle on how to clear the recent items list in Windows. If you added the Recent Items option to the Start Menu, you or anyone else could see all the files you recently opened!
If you’re a privacy freak who doesn’t want someone else to see what kind of documents you’ve been opening, clearing this list is essential! However, starting with Windows 7, there was a new feature introduced called a Jump List. You can read my previous post to understand how Jump Lists work.
With Jump Lists, that functionality basically moved from the Start Menu to the taskbar in Windows 8 and Windows 10! For example, if you open several Word documents and then right-click on the Word icon in the taskbar, you’ll see the following list:
It’s even worse for something like a web browser. When I right-clicked on the Chrome icon in my taskbar, I was surprised to see a list of my most visited sites and recently closed tabs!
If no one else uses your computer, that’s fine, but otherwise it’s like a quick peek into your personal stuff! Obviously, Microsoft created this feature for convenience purposes, so you could easily open a web page you visit very often or file that you had recently worked on.
Each program has to individually support this feature in order to see the list. If a program doesn’t support Jump Lists, you won’t see anything when you right-click on the icon.
Clearing Individual Jump List Items
Now when it comes to removing items in the Jump List, there are a couple of ways to go about it. Firstly, let’s start with removing individual items from the list. An easy way to get rid of one item is to just right-click on the item and choose Remove from this list.
Obviously, that’s just for clearing a small number of items. If you remove all of the items, you have to configure a setting in Windows. The procedure for doing this is different depending on what version of Windows you are using. I’ll show you how to do it in Windows 7 and Windows 10.
Turn Off Jump Lists in Windows 7
To prevent Windows from storing and displaying a list of recent items in the taskbar, you first need to right-click on the taskbar and choose Properties.
Now click on the Start Menu tab and then uncheck the Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar box.
Click OK and all the data stored for recently opened items will be deleted. Now when you right-click on any program in the taskbar, no personal data will show up. Note that this is a good way to wipe out all the stored data and start from scratch.
If you want, you can check the box again and it will begin to store recently opened items, but from a clean slate. Obviously, just leave it unchecked if you never want Windows to store your history.
Turn Off Jump Lists in Windows 10
In Windows 10, the procedure has changed. If you right-click on the taskbar and go to Properties, you’ll see there isn’t even a Start Menu tab anymore.
For Windows 10, you have to click on Start and then Settings first. Then click on Personalization.
Click on Start in the left-hand menu and then click on the Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or the taskbar toggle button so that it says Off.
Manually Clear Jump Lists
All recent items in any Jump List are stored by Windows in a hidden location, which you can get to in Windows 7 or higher by browsing to the following folder location in Explorer:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
Copy and paste that into Windows Explorer and press enter. Now you will see a list of files with very long and convoluted names. This is because all the Jump Lists are encoded. Each file represents a list of recent items for a particular programs’ Jump List.
It’s impossible to tell which entries go with which Jump Lists unless you open the file in a text editor and browse through it. However, since all of the files are just recent items in a Jump List, you can delete all the files and it will clear all recent items on all Jump Lists.
Those are all the different ways you can clear the list of recent items from a Jump List in Windows. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy!
