HELP!!! When I open my history button, I don't have a
normal listing. There are multiple folders with names
like "MSHist012000100120001002". When I open the folder,
there is a notepad icon and it is called index. When I
open this, it is too large for notepad so word pad opens
it. It has listings that look like this:
2000100120001002: Default@http://www.mgmgrand.com/index-
mgmdtw.html.
How do I fix this so I can have URL links listed?

Thanks,
Jean
 
Jean,
Possibly your History folder is corrupt:
[XP\2K]
Log on as Administrator and delete the desired <username> folder(s).
[example]
"C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\HISTORY"
