My IE6 (sp2) History is empty. I have a new Dell 4600
computer with Windows XP. The 'days to keep pages in
history" option is set to 7, but there is now history to
view. How can I restore the feature?
 
Hi,

History Collector Pro is a Internet Explorer plug-in. The standard Internet
Explorer's History tab saves only links to the visited pages, what is not
quite convenient. At the moment when you decide to visit a web page through
such history link, the page can be deleted or modified; it will be loaded to
the browser from the Internet again.

History Collector saves web pages locally on your computer; therefore you
can always view the pages that had been visited several days ago - even if
you are off-line. The additional benefit of the software is that you will be
freed from having to save and catalog the saved pages.

Hi,
This can be caused by the ActiveX Control filters in McAfee AntiVirus. If
you disable the "Active X Controls" filter under the Internet Filters in
VirusScan the IE History should work properly.

Your History folder may be damaged.
See: How To Delete the Internet Explorer Temporary Internet Files:

Note: Free History Eraser from
http://smartprotector.com/eraser/free-history-eraser.htm will delete the
History folder and a new one will be created when you restart.
