| 277962 | 2004-10-03 20:47:00 | Is it possible to recover those IE history /cache that have been cleared accidentally? Cheers |

| 277963 | 2004-10-03 22:57:00 | Theoretically yes, especially if you ar an Australian Police employee on the trail of perverts, but in practical non-forensic terms, no, unfortunately. You could spend a lot of time with undelete software but the lack of known file names would be a bit of an impediment. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 277965 | 2004-10-03 23:28:00 | The index.dat files will contain Internet Explorer's history and cache until the index.dat files are deleted. There are a number of different programs to view the index.dat files depending upon which version of Windows is being used. Index.dat Suite (www.majorgeeks.com) is able to view them on all versions of Windows. | tommy (2826) | ||
| 277966 | 2004-10-04 04:13:00 | Yes that's true Tommy, though the dat files only hold the URLs in immediately identifiable & recoverable form. Any text editor will read the contents, though I use Ztree because it will pull up all the files in one window and I can look through them sequentially and jump from URL to URL, bypassing all the dross. However, I think the original question was aimed at getting back the history and file cache in an immediately usable form, and I don't know of anything that can do that. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

And even if you could what use would it be anyway. Lots of randomly named files from bits of web-sites? |
