Jump Lists
Jump Lists are a new Windows 7 Taskbar feature that gives the user quick access to recently accessed application files and actions. Jump Lists come in two flavors, automatic (autodest, or *.automaticDestinations-ms) and custom (custdest, or *.customDestinations-ms) files. Autodest files are created by the operating system
Jump Lists are located in the user profile path, in the C:\Users\user\Recent folder. Autodest Jump Lists are located in the automaticDestinations subdirectory, and custdest files are located in the customDestinations subdirectory.
AutomaticDestinations
Path: C:\Users\user\Recent\AutomaticDestinations
Files: *.automaticDestinations-ms
Structure
The autodest files follow the MS-CFB compound file binary format specification. Each of the numbered streams within the file follows the MS-SHLLINK binary format specification.
The autodest files also contain a stream named "DestList" which acts as a most recently/frequently used (MRU/MFU) list. This stream consists of a 32-byte header, followed by the various structures that correspond to each of the individual numbered streams. Each of these structures is 114 bytes in size, followed by a variable length Unicode string. The first 114 bytes of the structure contains the following information at the corresponding offsets:
| Offset | Size | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0x48 | 16 bytes | NetBIOS name of the system; padded with zeros to 16 bytes |
| 0x58 | 8 bytes | Stream number; corresponds to the numbered stream within the jump list |
| 0x64 | 8 bytes | FILETIME object |
| 0x70 | 2 bytes | Number of Unicode characters in the string that follows |
