I can find where to delete Internet Explorer 7's browsing History but I
can't find where to open the History to re-visit a website.

Click on the gold star, top left then history :-)
 
Thanks, that did it.

IMHO: MS takes the Star symbol that they have been using for favorites and
buries the browser history underneath. Now that's really intuitive! Their
Help Menu makes no reference to any of this.

IE7 design is crap. I hate it :-(
Thankfully I use mostly Opera as it is far superior

Same here, Opera 9 is awesome. None of the IE problems. Occasionally I
need to open a site in IE, but use the OpenIn IE button on my Opera
toolbar for that...

Only problem with Opera is my blog dashboard is slow to load and my Credit
Card Bank won't accept the new version yet.

That might work with the bank but I doubt it will speed up loading for the
blod dashboard. Not even sure its an Opera thing as Firefox is just as
slow, except IE7 is fast. Strange.

When I do that the History folder is empty.

Have checked the setup and have storage set to 100meg and "Days to
keep pages" set to 25, yet nothing retains.

If I go to the Temporary Internet Files folder there are 5 subfolders
- Anti Phishing, Content IE5, Low, Sqm and Virtualised and the only
file is the desktop.ini which doesn't seem to make sense.

Is there some other setting I am missing?
