Windows 7 jump lists no longer seem to work [MI6]

I seem to remember that MyInfo 5.07 on Windows 7 supported jump lists and it worked fine.

But with MyInfo 6.0, when I have a topic open and right-click the MyInfo program button on the Windows 7 taskbar, the currently open topic isn't in the list. All I see is the MyInfo application icon and the standard commands 'detach from taskbar' and 'close all windows' (reverse translated from my Dutch Windows).

When I open more topics, sometimes one of them does appear in the jump list, but not every time and not all of them. I haven't figured out what the pattern is yet.

I find this quite annoying, since I prefer to start MyInfo with an empty workspace and use the jump list to quickly open a specific topic.

I use a 64-bit Windows 7 Pro with service pack 1.

Also when I do manage to pin topic A in the jump list, then close and re-open MyInfo with topic B, then look at the jump list, it contains B in the 'pinned' list instead of A.

My tests show that it works as expected: it will add files to the pin list, only if they are open via File > Open.

And, unfortunately, I can't reproduce the pin problem..
