Internet Explorer HISTORY file ???
I am helping someone who is using Internet Explorer 6.0.2800 and she would like to (she NEEDS) to be able to save the HISTORY file on her computer for personal reasons.
I have found the file under INDEX.DAT (this machine runs in French), but I cannot open it. What could it be opened with?
For the time being, I have saved this file to a separate storage which she can keep safely hidden away, but we need to be able to open the file as well, at least potentially.
Thanks in advance,
Lilliam Hurst

I have sampled all of the above offered viewer utilities. While they ALL are helpful, and will probably do the job, I searched on google for similar programs and I found one which is REALLY nice and only about 30k in size. You can choose to view history in alternate locations and even on other computers, and includes sub-folders. Check it out, I am sure you will agree:

Thank you so very much, mauricef! I went to the page, and it looks extremely user-friendly and everything. I might have to download this utility for my friend. She really needs the history of the computer for proof of something.
