-Open the folder with jump list databases in Explorer (there is a file per
application): %APPDATA%MicrosoftWindowsRecentAutomaticDestinations

-Download a free program called strings(https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb897439.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396) from Windows Sysinternals into the folder from previous step

-Launch cmd.exe and navigate to jump lists directory

cd %APPDATA%MicrosoftWindowsRecentAutomaticDestinations
Strings.exe allows to extract readable words from any binary file, which allows to
understand which application created a given jump lists binary database.

-Copy paste the below command to create a .txt file with strings for
each jump lists database:

for %i in (*Destinations-ms) do @strings -n 5 %i >%i.txt

-Review .txt files to determine which application a
jumplist belongs to. Use command line: findstr /I adobe *.txt or open
.txt files in an editor – the application that created them would be
obvious from application names and recently accessed file names

-To disable taskbar jump lists for an application simply create a directory with the same name as the jump list database file name. On my PC, to disable jump lists for Adobe
Reader, I deleted ee462c3b81abb6f6.automaticDestinations-ms and created a
new directory with the same name. If you ever decide to use disabled
jump lists again – delete the directory and Windows will re-create the
jump lists database file and the jump list history within it
