Internet
Explorer 7 History
Are you a new
Internet Explorer 7 user? Or, perhaps you've been using it for awhile
now. Either way, are you a little curious as to where the History
feature went? I know I had that problem when I first started using
IE 7. But then one day, I found it and I just knew I had to share
my secret with all of you. So, if you've been searching for your IE
7 history for some time now, let's go find it together!
First of all,
it's very normal to want to view your Web browser's history. I mean,
maybe you want to have a look at a family member’s Internet
usage. Or, perhaps you forgot the name of a great Web site you happened
upon a couple weeks ago and you want to find it again. Or, maybe you
just want to see how many Web sites you visit in a day. No matter
what your reasons, it's a good idea to look at your browser history
every now and then.
As you know, the
History button has been removed from the Internet Explorer 7 toolbar.
Because of that, it’s now much easier to cover your tracks (such
as deleting your browsing history), but looking back has become a
lot harder. That is, unless you know the shortcut! First, here’s
the long version:
1.) In the top
left hand corner, there's a small star icon. Go ahead and click on
that.
2.) In the menu
that pops up, click on the History drop down arrow
and then choose By Date.
3.) There's your
history! Go ahead, look it over and find what you need.
But of course,
that method is a little tedious and you may not want to do all of
that every time.
So, what's the
simple solution, you ask? Well, the answer is Ctrl + H.
Yes, it’s
that easy! Ctrl + H will bring up your History bar right away. Give
it a try for yourself today!
