When I log on as a user I see a standard set of toolbar icons and the one
for history pulls up the sites visited sorted by day,week etc and identifies
each.
When I log on as a different user I get a different set of icons which is
strange in itself as I initially set user up and doubt they could
deliberately change it. Anyway the history icon pulls up a numeric list that
opens to notebook window that is about three screens wide containing much
non-alphabetic characters but there is reference to some past pages buried
in the mess.
clicking history icon opens like:
History IE5
index
many dat files
How do I get the history to read out like standard IE6 does.
Yes it is IE6 running for both users but the IE5 reference above is correct.
Thank you
Mel
 
CORRECTION
The icons are the same but the resultant display is not.

You can't. The best you could do is use a third-party tool.

If you're just trying to get a list of visited URLs in another user's profile
you could copy the path you have in the Address bar then to ClipBoard
(e.g. press Alt-d,Ctrl-c), switch to a cmd window (aka Command Prompt)
and type:

cd /d

Leave a trailing space after the switch, then right-click Paste
the path in to complete the change directory command you're building,
then press Enter.

So assuming now that your current drive and directory are in
another user's History.IE5 subdirectory, next Enter:

find /i "Visited:" index.dat >visited.txt
and
notepad visited.txt

Yes it is IE6 running for both users but the IE5 reference above is correct.

Thank you Robert for information on getting past sites visited out. You did
not mention why "You can't. The best you could do is use a third-party
tool." Main and other users get normal history so what is causing this one
user to be different and how do I get it to be normal in the future?

Run... shell:History in each user's logged in session and think about it. ; )

What "one user"? You made no implication that you were trying
to fix a problem, only that you were trying to open someone else's
History. If you need help please give us your symptoms and not
just your problems with your self-prescribed resolution attempts.

Running shell:history produced similar results and gave me no idea's. The
only thing I can think of is I have admin rights and other user do not.

Weather you call it fixing a problem or not all I want to do is let other
users see their history the same way mine shows.
