Internet Explorer History recovery possible?

[Raymond Lin]

It's actually for a Mac, Panther OS

A friend of mine accidentally cleared the history in IE, is there anyway of recovery it?

The problem is that his gf, silly girl that she is, uses history as a way of remembering websites, and not bookmarking. And he has cleared it so now all her research for her uni project has gone.

So, I am asking the wise people here, is there a way of recovering the history ?

Dunno if its the same on a Mac but IE on Windows also stores webhistory in index.dat which I believe is not affected by the "Delete History" option.
There are a couple of downloads to read them (again on Windows) which you can google for.
Alternatively you may get help in the Linux/OSX forum just beneath this one

Actually, found out it wasn't IE, it was Safari if that makes any difference.

1. How about "Big Brother", he's watching you! Why not ask him or write to:
10 Downing Street, London.

2. I don't know if it could in the protected part of the recycle bin in Norton AV under protected files? It has normal protected recycle bin and further protected files? Just a chance.

Personally I'd stick to option 1.
