Jump List files are actually OLE files. These files (introduced with Windows 7) give access to recently accessed applications and files. They have forensic value. You can find them in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations and C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations.

The plugin takes an option (-f) to condense the information to just filenames:
