You can go to the History tab on your browser.  i am going to assume that you have Internet Explorer, so if you look at the toolbar on your browser you should see an icon that looks like a clock with an arrow pointing down on the one side.  This is your history button.  Once you click history you can sort by day... then by site.  You will have a list of all the visited websites that day.\n\nIf you would like to view the cookies from each website, then you would go into your cookies folder... located in my documents>Temporary Internet Files>Cookies.\n\nHappy Snooping!

If you don't have access to their computer (where you could always check the browser history), the only way is to google for their email adresses and commonly used nicknames.\n\nYou won't find everything this way, though.

I agree with the first answer, however anyone who knows a little bit about computers will still find out.  Do this: click on said button, but then check C:&#92;Documents and Settings&#92;"WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS"&#92;Local Settings and then any folder in there.  Cookies and pics can still point to where you've been.  A history of your surfing is kept in three other places besides Internet Exploder's history.  There are programs out there that are designed to completely wipe all of your history.  I have no need for these programs, therefore I don't know where you can find them or what they are called.

You can look for cookies and temporary internet files.  Just search your computer.

You can possibly find the page by looking in your cookies are Temporary Internet files. But I wouldn't bank on it. It will only work if:\n\n1.) The site stored a cookie, must sites do.\n2.) You downloaded something from there.

Try to delete Cookies, Temporary Internet Files adn History

Follow the instructions you see here to find the history of recently viewed sites, but be aware that a savvy 11 year old may know how to delete the history.\n\nFor another way to see what he's been looking at you might want to try this...\n\nOn the menu, click Tools > Internet Options and on the General tab select Settings. On the dialog that opens click View Files. On the window that opens click on the View menu and select Thumbnails. This will show you the images that have been viewed since the cache was cleared.

Internet temporary files can possibly slow down your computer, but the history is just saved links from sites you have recently visited and will not slow down your computer.

I don't think so, but if you really want to, you can hit Tools, Internet options in internet exploreer. There ,click on settings, under temporary internet files, and then view files.There you might find something to help you determine the sites adress (baner, etc...) or the site itself.

There are literally millions and millions of websites your child could access at any time, so it wouldn't be practical to maintain a database of activities of that many sites by millions and millions and millions of people. \n\nThey best way to get a feel for where he has been is to take a look at his "cookies", those temporary files that websites drop onto your computer to leave a footprint they can identify if he stops by again later. \n\nTo see where he's been, open Internet Explorer. Up on the toolbar, click TOOLS. Select INTERNET OPTIONS. In the section marked 'temporary internet files', select SETTINGS. Click VIEW FILES.\n\nA page will come up that lists where he's been. You can make each of the columns wide enough to read by putting your cursor between the columns and dragging it sideways. \n\nAs a note, your child can erase any or all of those files with little trouble by clicking DELETE COOKIES or DELETE FILES instead of clicking the SETTINGS button. That said, you may miss some of the signals you need for effective parenting. A frank discussion with your child about what internet conduct you expect from him may be more effective than trying to follow his tracks. \n\nGood luck! - Stuart

just go to the internet options and delete the temp internet files, cookies and search history.  Then open a browser, click history and verify that the history was erased.

the best way is to...\n1. go to search\n2. check the box with "all documents and files"\n3. type in "temp. internet files"\n4. trail and error, start looking though all the html documents that are listed in there (if you have cleared you history trail and/or it's been more than 1 week ago [depending on how you computer is set up] this trick will not work).
