What OS?

Windows 2K/XP you can just copy the HISTORY Folder:
Document and Settings \ <username> \ Local Settings \ History

Windows 9x/ME located in:
Windows \ History

Win2k, I know where the directory is but it is "special". If your not logged on as that user, it just appears to be dat files. How do I view the info after copied?

If you are logged in with Administrative Privileges
and all you see is the INDEX.DAT files, then more
than likely the HISTORY had been cleared recently.

The Index.dat file still retains the history though.

What do I use to view it? History has not been cleared as I can see it when logged as the user.
