    After we installed Windows XP from '98 we can't find the History folder.
    Is there a history folder in XP?

    Welcome to the BBS!

    In XP, each user ID has their own History folder. Check this path:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\History substituting your user ID for Owner, if needed.

    To cut directly to the chase you can copy/paste the following text into the RUN window:

    C:\documents and settings\%username%\local settings\history

    BTW, you should see a link on the IE6 browser that gets you into the History folder to do editing. It's the icon with the green ccw arrow and the clock face on it.

    cinny --Please do not misunderstand, but the way to answer your question (and similar ones) by yourself would be to run a Start|Search. In this case for "History" without the quotes.
