how can I find the history links folder in IE6

0

Ugh, IE6. Don't bash me, it's a work thing.

In IE6, how can I find all the links that are in my history folder? I've got it set to keep 20 days of history. However when I see the History bar, there's no entries of 2 Weeks Ago, clearly a bug.

Is there a way I can see what's in this folder without going thru IE6? I want to find a site that I went to about 9 days ago, but the History bar in IE6 doesn't have any entries beyond the Last Week folder.

the default History storage location:

%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\History

to view the content, you'll need an index.dat viewer.

Thanks. Must be some other bug then, there's no items in the "2 Weeks Ago" folder, even though the setting is to keep the last 20 days of history. I use IE6 daily, so there must be something in there. I've not cleared out the temp files or anything... – jcollum – 2009-09-28T16:52:22.423

use the index.dat viewer to check index.dat in your temp folder, this may shed some light on your activities 20 days ago. :) – None – 2009-09-28T16:59:28.447
