The jump list files for a particular user are located in: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\CustomDestinations and C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations . The CustomDestinations and AutomaticDestinations folders are hidden even if you have "Hide protected operating system files" turned off.
