How can I make a printout of Internet History?
May 30, 2004 | HighWheeler

Posted on 05/30/2004 12:32:41 PM PDT by HighWheeler

I need to make a printout of the History Folder in Internet Explorer using Windows XP. This folder would contain all the sites visited by this computer since the last erasure.

I have no trouble getting the file to show from the "Back" button on IE, but I would like to copy the entire folder.

The History folder is in there somewhere, but I can't get into it.


TOPICS: Computers/Internet
KEYWORDS: faq; history
If you know of a computer expert ping list, please invoke it. Thanks.

I'd copy and paste it into a Word Document, myself.

Disclaimer: there may be (correction, doubtless is) an easier way...

thanks

Yeah, I tried that, but the copy feature doesn't work on the History list produced from using the "Back" button.

I've tried finding the History folder in the C: drive, but to not luck.

I see you are "down under" so to speak. What is it, about 9-11 hours from Pacific time? I know there are 3 time zones there. Hope you don't run out of coffee!

I would hit "control-H" to bring up the Complete history list, left-click in the list "control-A" to mark the whole list, "control-C" to copy it, open wordpad or your word processor, click in the w/p work area, "control-V" to paste it in and save or print to your needs.

Australian Eastern Standard Time, which I'm on, is actually a whopping 18 hours ahead of Pacific Time (matter of that pesky little International Date Line, which my father's crossing over in the other direction - i.e. headed for LAX - as I type...) It's Monday afternoon here, and viewed through 19 cups of coffee I'm surprised I can even see the screen right now...

Um, I think that's right anyway. The exact time diff. varies with the season (my current home state, Queensland, doesn't have Daylight Savings)... anyway, your original estimate reminded me of something Californians couldn't quite get their minds around: by the time the Twin Towers fell, it was already 9/12 here, or 12/9 as we write it on our cheques!)

Thanks, I tried that pattern, which works fine on the IE page itself, but inside the History pop-up is a whole new world where those commands don't work.

I think the best bet is to find the History file in the C: part of the harddrive, but I can't get find it or get in there either.

For some reason, Microsoft has made this request very difficult or impossible.
