"windows 7" "internet explorer 9" history folder location backup restore
In "windows 7-32bit" running "internet explorer 9", where is the history folder location. I'd like to use Third Party Software (SecCopy.exe) to backup and restore on the same or another computer.

That folder is a protected folder, which is why I noted you may have difficulty.
You can look at (in Internet Explorer) File -> Export to a File which exports Browser settings. I do not know if this will bring along history. Most of us can can live without history because it quickly re-creates.
You can also look at Windows Easy Transfer (in the System Tools folder) as it will bring along most things. It may bring more than you want.

Now the reason for History is to go back to something you wanted. So you can easily review your History and make the links into Favourites. Favourites can be easily copied to another computer.

vimaljjw - Did you try the tool from NirSoft? It works very well with IE History including IE 9. You can view the History, select what you want (including All) and save it. Once saved, it can be copied to another machine.

I couldnt backup the folder usint Third Party Software SecCopy.exe. It returned the errors:
01-Apr-2011 4:12:44 PM - Begin: VKJ-DT COMMON F-H-D ==========================
02-Apr-2011 9:53:04 AM - cannot copy file C:\Users\VKJ\AppData\Local
02-Apr-2011 9:53:09 AM - cannot copy file C:\Users\VKJ\AppData\Local
02-Apr-2011 9:53:11 AM - cannot copy file C:\Users\VKJ\AppData\Local
02-Apr-2011 9:53:12 AM - End: VKJ-DT IE History C-H ... Copied: 14, Errors: 3
What I need to do is to back it up, and use the backup to restore on another computer, or on the same computer in event the OS (Win 7-32bit) is reinstalled!
Any advice?
Thanks.
