Hi all,

I need to copy my history files from IE6.
I am using XPH and a user name of FRED.
I am not using any software that would delete it.
Where should these files be located?

thanks,
charles......
 
Hi charles :-)

Try the folloswing:

If you have Windows XP or Windows 2000 then index.dat files are in these
locations (note that on your PC they can be on other drive instead of drive
C):

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Cookies\index.dat
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local
Settings\History\History.IE5\index.dat
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\History\History.IE5
\MSHistXXXXXXXXXXX\index.dat
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temporary Internet
Files\Content.IE5
\index.dat
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\UserData\index.dat

If you have only one user account on Windows XP or Windows 2000 then replace
<username> with Administrator to get the paths of all index.dat files.



If these steps do not resolve your problem, please post back to this thread
with the details and any error messages.

Hope this helps

Try this little utility.....it has a trial period, and it does allow you to
read the .dat file....I just tried it myself. Neato! Full cost is
indicated, but, you can try free it for 21 days...
