recover IE browser history even after history has been cleared
Is there a way I can recover IE 7 browser history?
I thought years ago I read everything is stored within index.dat, so I downloaded a .dat viewer but didn't turn up the results I was looking for.
I have a very problematic user that clears browser history before she reports a problem and I'm pretty sure the problems are stemming from her browsing habits.

Have you also checked the..
C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
There could be cookie information and images in there that would give you some clues if all the user did was delete the history.
Perhaps you could implement a group policy to remove the options of clearing history from users machines, or at least you could edit that users registry to remove the Clear History button. That would be a fun surprise for the user to find that the button is no longer available.
