Here is a good program to recover files that were deleted. The sooner you use it the better as once the deleted files have been written over with something new you are pretty much out of luck.

If they are not in recycle bin, then you need a special software. PC Inspector File recovery is a free software available through which you can retrieve lost data. But I don't know how it works, so you will have to find that out yourself.\nhttp://www.download.com/PC-Inspector-File-Recovery/3000-2248_4-10118664.html?tag=lst-0-1

First, right click on the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop and hit open. Check to see if the files are still there and right click on them to restore them.\n\nIf the Recycle Bin has been emptied, use this free program:\nhttp://www.download.com/PC-Inspector-File-Recovery/3000-2248_4-10118664.html?tag=lst-0-6\nIf the files have been overwritten you will be out of luck.

You can access history to find out. However, intruders still can easily erase their traces.\n\nKeylogging softwares can help in your case. However, beware that this kind of software is mainly intended for password stealing rather than tracking purposes.\n\nIf you simply want to protect your privacy, there're some methods:\n1. Create a guess account, then go to Windows Explorer > Tool > Option > View, uncheck Use simple file sharing (suppose you have admin rights, running WinXP pro with NTFS file system)\n2. Enable password protected screensaver \n2. Lock your PC everytime you leave it: Ctrl+Alt+Del > Shutdown > Lock computer

No, once the file itself is deleted you can not get it back by clicking on a 'list' of files. That is what your history is, a list of places, things.

You can go to the cache in the system section on your hard drive or there are programs that will retrieve info even after it has been trashed.  Norton utilities and such.  Good luck in finding out if he's been surfing for porn.  The scum bag.  If I'm wrong, forgive me, but there a very few other reasons to try to find out where you been on the magical web.  If he's Guitly, trash his A s s........ again, if not, shut my mouth.

a deleted history cannot be retrieved through normal means/ordinary programs. As ppl mentioned you can always find the cookies, but those won't give you all information because not all websites leave a cookie behind. But also, the cookies can be deleted, as well as the cache. If that person is careful, there will be no traces left of their online activities on the computer.\nAs a side note though, it's not a good idea to spy on ppl, unless they're your kids, but even then they deserve a bit of privacy. You I suggest is to talk to them about things they should not be doing and the risks the internet involves, instead of spying on them and then take out the wip when you find something. Ask them what they do on the net, or things like that. Only spy as last resort, if you suspect they are lying to you.

http://www.executive.com/undelete/undelete.asp\n\nAt that link is a nice, free trial of a program that can help in most situations. Undeleting data is easy, as long as the space it occupied hasn't been overwritten by something else.

Yes it is possible, you need to find a programme that will recover data that you have deleted. I dont know any names, but look on Google for something like "file recovery".  However, stop using your computer right now.  The more you use it, the less likely it is that you will get those files back.\n\nDeleted files are not removed from your computer, the data space they take up is simply marked with an "over write" command.  Therefore, if you keep using your computer then you will may eventually lose your data, and it will be un-recoverable.
