If you are using Internet Exploder...(*coughs*) Internet Explorer:\n\nSimply go click on "Tools" in the toolbar in IE, and select "Internet Options".  Then look in the "General" tab and look for the area marked off as "History".  There should be an option for "Days to keep pages in history:" followed by a box that contains a number.  If you wish to be able to look back for an entire month, or about 4 weeks, change this number to 31.  Else, increase the number to the maximum number of days that fits your satisfaction.\n\nIf you are using Firefox:\nAgain click on "Tools" in the toolbar and select "Options..."\nNow, click on the "Privacy" button at the top of the menu that comes up, and then click on the "History" tab.  Make sure that you have "History" and not "Download History".  Again, in the "History" tab, there is a single entry labeled as "Remember visited pages for the last [___] days."  Simply edit the number in the box, say 31 for a whole month or 62 for two whole months, and press okay.

probably u wont be able to retrieve the history since the chances for successfully recovering this data is so low, that it is effectively zero.\n\nits not that its impossible but its extremely difficult to do so and u got to be really good on the comp. to get it.\n\nthe "History" directory is marked "invisible" by default, so it's likely that you won't find it by default.\n\nThe easiest way is to simply recover the contents of that directory, including all subdirectories, from a recent backup. If you've been making regular backups of your full system, as recommended, then you can simply use your backup utility to restore only those directories, after which you should be able to restart IE and have the old history restored.\n\nbut if u ask me personally i'd suggest you to go in for programs that block adult sites for kids as spyware nanny etc., You Can Also Control THE SITES in IE itself by restricting sites .\n\nto do this go to "TOOLS" in the Menu bar of IE and then Click on "INTERNET OPTIONS" click "SECURITY " tab, then\n"RESTRICTED SITES"

the only way i know is to, click your history button at the top, by the yellow star. and the list of places you have been to will pop up, click the one you want to make a link of and drag it to the place you want and it will stay any place you can type on

Within My Computer, go to the following folder:\n\nC:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;<user name goes here>&#92;Local Settings&#92;History\n\nYou will see several "Date" folders "Today", "Yesterday", "Last Week", etc.  this holds both internet history as well as "My Computer" history.\n\nIn fact, "My Computer" is the name of one of the folders under each "Date" folder, which shows what programs were run.\n\nThis set of folders is available under each login name under "Documents and Settings"/<User>

Clear your 'history' file on the computer - it is under 'Tools' and then 'Internet Options'\n\nIf that doesnt work, it maybe your not using ie as the browser, in which case I dunno!

You can use the tools/internet options/ "clear history button" to get rid of where you have been.\n\nYou can also (on the same page) set the "days to keep pages in history" to zero.\n\nThis assumes you are using IE but others will be very similar.

To clear the history open "Internet Options" under "Tools" at the top of internet explorer.  Under the "General" tab click on "Clear History". This will clear all history for that day only.  To clear all history for the past week or more you must click on the icon "history" which will open a window to the left of your internet explorer screen. "The icon is to the right of the favorites icon.  This procedure allows you to choose specifically what you want to delete or keep.  Just right click on what you want to delete and choose delete.  The option  also allows you to "expand and collapse the subject link.  Here you can delete an entire day up to an entire week.  You can also turn off "auto complete" to keep internet explorer from trying to assume what your typing in the address and serch bar.  To do this go to open internet explorer, tools, internet options, click on the content tab and then click on auto complete, uncheck the box "web addresses" and "User names and passwords on forms" then click on "Clear Forms" choose ok. and do the same for "Clear Passwords"\n\n   Oh yeah, "FYI" there is no need to try to figure out how to find this hidden folder "local settings" when you can do everything you need to accomplish from internet explorer.\n\nHope this helps out.
