 A Little Bit Of History Disappears With Internet Explorer 7?
 Windows XP (all versions) and Windows Vista - With Internet Explorer 7 Installed

What the heck happened to "History" in Internet Explorer 7. Apparently, Microsoft isn't big on history anymore. Wonder why? Maybe their glory years are behind them and they don't want to look back for fear they'll look older and less wise now? Eightball doesn't like mirrors anymore for the same reason. Hmmm...I don't think the reasons for Eightball not liking history and Microsoft not likely history are the same. Still, for whatever reason, IE7 has not made your browsing history very easy to find in IE7. Browsing history stores all the Web sites you've visited for a specified number of days, depending on your settings.

Having your browsing history handy can be very useful. Let's say that three days ago you visited a site with something very interesting on it. But, you forgot to bookmark it. Now today, you realize the information you discovered three days ago is relevant today - you're having a computer problem, you need a certain bit of information, etc.. When History was handy in Internet Explorer you could just click ye olde history button and presto! you sifted through your last few days of Web browsing and find the site you're interested in, click it, and you're back where you once belonged.

Good news! Internet Explorer 7 does have a history button - and works like the History in IE6 and earlier version. You just have to make some setting changes to add the missing "History" button to your IE 7 toolbar.

Where is History in IE7?

Sidebar will open and show your History:

To find History in IE7 and display it in the sidebar in your browser, click View, then Explorer Bar, then choose History, as follows:

Now you get back that which you once had. Maybe :)
