Hi - I went looking for the history folder last night (in the same
subdirectory that you listed) and I couldn't find it.
These folders are all marked as Hidden/System. Unless you turn on the
view, you won't see them.
I wonder if history
isn't being saved because I don't have the folder created (or it's gone
for
whatever reason.) I would assume it would create another one immediately.
Right now I'm searching and Local Settings is coming up as hidden folders.
I'm even logged in as Administrator so I should be able to get to them/it.
Not unless you turn on the view of hidden and system folders. In Explorer,
choose Tools, Folder Options, View, Show Hidden Files and Folders, and you
may also want to de-select "hide protected operating system files".
However, this will cause a few files to appear in folders and the desktop
that you didn't know were there.
BTW, this can also be a problem for backup apps. Some email clients, like
Outlook and OUtlook Express, store their files in hidden folders. When
specifying a backup set, these hidden folders are sometimes missed... and
so is the email.
