How do you view deleted history?

Answer 1

You'll have to open and read an Index.dat file.

INDEX.DAT is a hidden index of the Web sites that are visited. It is not deleted when you use Windows to clean out temporary internet files and so is usually available even if you think you have cleaned out your browsing history. These types of files are what police and FBI extract during investigations.

The files can be found here, but can be found in other locations. Just do a search for them at the Start Menu

C:UsersOwnerAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsTemporary Internet FilesContent.IE5

Make sure you have Show Hidden Files and Folders under Folder Options enabled, and disable Hide Protected Operating System Files and Folders.

NOW - you need a special program to open and read these as they're not normal text files.

Answer 2

You have to go to the recycle bin on your computer and when you go to empty bin it will be there and you can just click on what you want to see and it will open up another window.

Answer 3
