I know it's possible, but I can't for the life of me figure out how I did it… In a fresh Windows 7 install, the explorer jump list shows frequent items. There is a way to change it to show recent items instead, but how?

Now the jump list will still be empty, but as you start using the Explorer, it will be populated with the recent items.
