Count how many times I got "The requested URL could not be retrieved"

[greg]

Hi, all,

This may be a strange request. But there must be a way to do this.
This is like to track a particular page being displayed.

Any one has an idea please help.

Thanks.

I take it you want to count how many times the standard 404 error message is
displayed in IE?
From res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm ?

I see you also got an answer to this here:

Hi, all,

The simplest way would be to Run... FileMon filtering on the access of
res://shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm. E.g. if that is fetched each time
the message is generated you would get one trace entry per fetch.

Note: I'm on IE7 now and it's res://ieframe.dll/dnserror.htm there.
I think that the other filename is the one used in IE6. If not just
do View Source of the error message and then open the TIF viewer
(e.g. press Alt-T,O,Alt-S,V etc.) and find out what it is really called.

Alternatively, I would try looking at defining an auditing event for that
file access (or whatever else related to the display of that error message
seemed more useful.) Then you could use the Event Viewer (or other
related tools) to analyse the data captured.

Hmm... I notice that you didn't bother disclosing your OS.
I think the auditing idea is only applicable on NTx.

Thanks.

Good luck
