One of the newer features of PuTTY 0.61 is the support of Windows 7 jump lists to start saved sessions. When this version of PuTTY came out I was on a "loaned" computer and it worked great!

Now I have my actual computer and a clean install of Windows 7, the jump lists feature does not work. When I right click on the PuTTY icon in the taskbar I just see the unpin and launch options.

Is there something that is not setup correctly or something that I've somehow forgotten?

This probably belongs on puTTY's bug tracker. – jscott Jul 25 '11 at 2:24
Could you try creating a shortcut to putty anywhere in your start menu and see if it works afterwards? – billc.cn Jul 25 '11 at 3:06
@billc.cn That is what I have done, no luck. – mrlanrat Jul 25 '11 at 5:08

I guess you have to open the saved session(s), and after that, the connections will apear in jump list.

That's how is working fro me.

That is what I have done. But the jump list shows nothing other than the standard items. – mrlanrat Jul 25 '11 at 5:10
I was asked to restart computer after install putty from installer. Are using putty standalone or from installed? – Paul Jul 25 '11 at 11:09
I am using the standalone putty.exe and that is what I was using on my previous computer too. But I'll give the installer a try and report back. – mrlanrat Jul 25 '11 at 22:01
Well, with the installer version of putty I get "Run Pageant" and "Run Puttygen" in my jumplist. But I'm still not seeing my saved sessions. – mrlanrat Jul 26 '11 at 1:50
