history

[frosenberg]

With Windows 98 I could access a file called "history" to
view what websites other users visited. How do I do this
with Windows XP?

C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Local Settings\History

Local Setting is a hidden folder, so you'll need to open Folder Options =
in the Control panel, view, and select the radio button "Show hidden =
files and folders" if you want to browse to that window.

Just to add;

If you want to see where other have been, then you'll need to visit =
their folder.=20
C:\Documents and Settings\other user(s)\Local Settings\History

where do you type that C:\ etc. Is it in the run command that you put that?

Easiest was it to select the View History option in Internet Explorer.
Run Internet Explorer and select View, Explorer Bar, History. Or just
press Ctrl+H while in IE.

use, it will bring his history up using your method.
