windows xp user needs to know how to find deleted history

Expand Post »
My child has been up to no good on my computer. I found one site he forgot to delete. I want to see what else is in my computer. I know there is a deleted history and maybe even a visited page record.But in my ignorance I can't seem to figure it out! If anyone can help, it would help me know what I am dealing with. Thanks so much!

Re: windows xp user needs to know how to find deleted history

These posts are in the wrong forum anyways.

Anyhow, if the person has sent you an email then yes you can find the IP address of the PC of where the email was sent from.

And I'm not quite sure how you would find out all the websites that someone has been to if they already deleted the history. But something I would advise would be to check the Cookies as well, since many websites place cookies into your browser when you visit (including DaniWeb - to check if you are logged in or not, but other websites use it to track if you have been to their website, etc.)

Also, I would suggest using NetNanny or something similar next time so that you can track everything they do.

He was asking the oppisite he wanted to know how to get an email from an IP that would be pretty hard considering most emails arent tied to one computer.

Re: windows xp user needs to know how to find deleted history

suffice it to say that instead of wondering what sites have been visited, just put a blocker on the browser or a password on the computer. However, they will always find a way.

If these posts are in the wrong forum, which one should they be in ?

Re: windows xp user needs to know how to find deleted history

I think this would be best in the Windows Software forum, so I've moved it accordingly; if anyone thinks it would be better off elsewhere, PM myself, or another moderator, and we'll consider it.

I don't think you can recover the History that has already been deleted, but you can edit the registry so it can no longer be removed. See regedit #101 here:
