I have a computer in which the History.IE5 folder has been moved from
Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\History.IE5 to the users
dekstop. The folder can not be moved back to its original location because it
says it is being used by another process (IE I assume). The folder can also
not be deleted unless you are in Safe mode but when you log back onto the
machine the folder is recreated by IE.

Can anyone tell me how to move this folder back to the users
D&S\Username\Local Settings\Histroy.IE5 directory, short of removing thier
profile from the machine.

Thanks,
Tom
 
Log on to that machine with another account that has Admin privileges and
try and move the folder back from there.

The location of that folder is controlled in this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders

Key - History
Type - REG_SZ
Data - C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\History
