How do I retrieve old places visited and websites?
[/al_question]That would be your browser’s history function. In most browsers, like Internet Explorer, typing CTRL+H will bring up a pane to the left listing sites you’ve visited in recent days.
The history is only kept so long, and “so long” is configurable in your internet options.

You’ll probably want to install some kind of monitoring software (http://ask-leo.com/how_can_i_keep_my_kids_safe_from_internet_garbage.html has more on that).
But it’s really just a race … no mater what you do, kids eventually find a way around it.

Well i kinda need help retrieving the history so that i can recall which site i went to for my research. Is there a way to do this? If there is please send a reply to my email.
To delete files? search for .DAT file cleaner on tinternet, or CCleaner on google. they are harmless programs that clean files for you (you can do it manually but it takes time)
for people who want to read history, google: check history, check downloaded internet files, dowloaded cookies .etc. or if your a whizz kid, (doubt most of you are) you can search your pc for .DAT files, then use a program that will open them so you can view whatever sites your spouse/partner/child has been on.
My “favorites” were inadvertently deleted when I received automatic updates. Is there amy way that I can retrieve them?
