Easy. Go to the start menu and click on help and support. A blue screen will appear. All you have to do then is a system restore to whatever date you want. Your computer will do a system restore and shut down and restart. Then, enjoy browsing history! Hope this helps. I used it to catch a cheating boyfriend.

There are a few ways, but the best method starts out with easy searches and gets more complicated. If there are multiple browsers on the computer you wish to scan, you must check each of them separately (E.G. - internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari...)

Step 1:
You can do a quick online scan at a free site like Check-History.com, where you can simply click on a button and it will automatically do a fast scan like:

  • Popular sites scan - Scans for popular sites visited
  • Dating sites scan - Scans to see if the browser has loaded any dating sites
  • Pornography sites scan - Checks to see if the browser has visited adult sites
  • Social Networking sites scan - Shows which Social Networks (Facebook, MySpace, etc) have been visited

Step 2:
The next thing to do is to manually check the history... but you need to know what you are looking for.
In most browsers, CTRL H will open the browsing history.

Step 3:
If someone deleted their browsing history, you can still check their cookies! You can find their cookies folder and browse through the cookies.

Prevention:
If you are the owner of the computer in question and you wish to monitor the Internet usage of minor family members or anyone else who uses your computer - this is legal in most jurisdictions, but check to be sure - you can install a free keylogger, such as family keylogger, which will record all keystrokes and sites visited.

Yes. Internet Explorer and Firefox, for instance, allow you to view sites you've visited in the past by pressing Ctrl-H.
