Comment (by pospeselr):
Updated patch: https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/richard/tor-
browser.git/commit/?h=bug_12885_v3
Length explanation in the commit message, but the tldr is that versions of
Tor Browser with this patch applied will have Jump Lists disabled and will
clean up the backing store if users go in and toggle them on and off via
about:config settings. However, all existing versions of Tor Browser for
Windows create a file in
`%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations` that contains the
path to the Tor Browser install that we can't 'cleanly' (ie via the
Microsoft-provided Jump List APIs). A separate patch could go in and purge
files in that directory containing 'Tor Browser' strings but that seems
like a good idea for another ticket.
