How to Recover Deleted Internet History in Windows?

System control was disabled by a user, or it is inappropriate to use it .Well, let's try another tactic. There are lesser known log files that Windows keeps, which are independent of both the Registry and individual Program logs. They are called "index.dat" files. Use the Windows Search Tool to find all occurrences of "index.dat" on your C: drive.

• On XP, click Start, and Search, then For Files & Folders, and All Files & Folders, now enter "index.dat" in the Filename field. Before searching:
  
  
  • Limit the search to C: drive using the Look In drop-down.
  • Check the following options using the More Advanced Options line:  
    1. Search windows Files
    2. Search history Files & Folders
    3. Search Subfolders
  • Click Search.
  • Be amazed at how many "index/date" files there are.
  • Minimize the Search Results window.
• You need a tool to read the index/date files. They are NOT text files.
  
  
  • Search for "index.dat reader".
  • Download the software, check it for viruses (as you do for all downloads) and install it. Start the program. You can enjoy different Histories, using the button provided.
