Lost history of 60 days

[Guest]

I set my computer's clock back to 2 months ago and then set it back to today.
I went to my history to go to a site that I went to 2 days ago. Everything
is gone except for the sites that I visited today. Is there a way to recover
the missing weeks of visited sites?

Thanks,
Tony

Try putting the clock forward 3¼ weeks, this will take you past Thanksgiving
though )

Hi Tony,

The same happened to me yesterday and I still haven't manage to fix it.
How did you manage to get it to work??

thanks for help!

There are a couple of convoluted ways to get your history back. But 2 easy
ways are as follows:

1. There is a free program called IEHistoryView v1.22 that will extract ALL
of your history. You would be able to right click the selected link and open
a window to start browsing. You will be able to sort by date last visited,
Title of page/site, etc. Link to site: http://www.nirsoft.net/

2. Ahem... Install and use Firefox http://www.mozilla.org/products/ to
import the IE history which is still all there in the hidden index.dat file.
You will then be able to view the history and either browse the sites in
Firefox or copy the link into IE6 and browse there. I am surprised that MS
hasn't provided this option to reload past history since it is all there in
the hidden .dat file.

Both of these options will give you what you want.
Cheers
Tony

Hi Tony,

Would any of your convoluted ways allow me to see the missing History in IE6
and sorted by date?
IEHistoryView only retreived part of it (back to 02/04) and Firefox is
painfully slow and somehow doesn't sort it by dates + doesn't show me any
date (in the sort by Date and by Date and Site views).

Any more help you can provide will be very much appreciated!
Many Thanks again
