    can anyone help at all.

    what i want to acheive is to send the explorer history list to my network drive. the reason for this is so that i can see exactly where my daughter is going on her computer to help keep my firewall list updated.

    i just want to beable to run a small file everytime she turns on her computer (in the startup folder) to copy the contents of the history list to a network drive and thus enabling me to veiw the list and firewall appropriatly. if i can do this when she startsup and without her knowing i can catch her out. or i could catch her cousin out who also uses the comuter.

    can anyone help, as i would not know where to start looking. i cannot find a history folder like i used to on older windows. also would i need and particular program to veiw the url's or could i print them once i open them?

     

    cheers to anyone who can help a worried father.

    no i am using xp home edition on all systems. i would never update to latest software at least until i have read 3-4 months worth of reviews, my data is too precious to loose trying to update the operating system. i have too many doubts. but if anyone does know where i can find the history as a file or directory so i can copy it from one computer to enable me seeing which sites has been visited. please do let me know.

     

    cheers

    Hi, It does not look as if you got an answer so I don't know if you still have the problem. The internet history is a folder anyway so all you need to do is copy the c:\documents and settings\%userprofile%\Local Settings\History folder to somewhere else. You will then find that what you copied looks nothing like the history data as displayed. You will have a folder called History, and one under that called History.IE5. In that folder will be file called index.dat. You may have a folder, or two, as well with another index.dat in it. Get yourself a copy of filealyser - google it -  and open these dat files with that and look at the hex dump tab. You should be able to see all the sites she has visited.
