Making a copy of IE 6 history files

[jim.klockow]

Hey all,

I'm trying to make a copy of my IE 6 history files before they get
dumped. I had someone use my home computer who shouldn't have been and
I'd like to document the places this person visited as well as be able
to back it up with a file just so there's no denying it. How can I back
up IE history. Simply copying the folder doesn't work. Anyone know?

Hi Groundhog

You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, try the
following and see if it helps:

Backup IE History

Free Program:
http://www.backsettings.com/internet-explorer-backup.html

also..

If you want to save IE History as text file, you will need to use a 3rd
party software to do this. Check the information here:

History Reader for Internet Explorer:
http://www.wbaudisch.de/HistoryReader.htm

IEHistoryView
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/iehv.html

Neither program will save or record the History real-time, manual
intervention through their
GUI is required. However, IEHistoryView has command line options you can
use to, say, put in a batch file and run that in a schedule.

If what you are looking for is some sort of monitoring program that
works in the background and logs all IE activity, take a look at the
following:

Hope this helps.
