IE7 Stopped Showing My Browsing History? Help!

Hmmm this is driving me bugs. My IE7 on Vista suddenly hasnt been showing my viewing history for over a week. Perhaps a few websites appear in the history section and that is it! Ive run malware and antivirus scans and they found nada. I cant figure this out. Ive rebooted etc and nothing but the same issue. Anyone have an idea about this? Help!

Go to your Internet Options under the General Tab. Under the Browser History click Settings which will bring up another screen. At the bottom of that screen, you will see "History." That is where you set how many days you want to save your browsing history. Sounds like it got changed to 0. Hope this helps.

You have to add these sites to your "trusted sites" under internet options in Firefox. Try this and see.

SOURCE: Can't get Internet Options when I click on

Alternatively, you can access Internet Options from Control Pannel
OR
Open Internet Explorer and Press Ctrl+H. This would show the history on the left hand side of the screen. Just delete everything.

Hope it helps! Good Luck!

How do i view my browser history

Close, I will provide you with a couple of answers:
1. In Internet Explorer, click on favorites and you will see a tab for history; this will be your browsing history.
2. In AOL, click on View, then History; This option opens the History side panel, which displays your browsing history and provides the number of times you visited the site (in parenthesis) as well as a thumbnail view of the Web page. Clicking Clear My Footprints at the bottom of the History Side Panel clears your browsing history, blocked pop-up list, and all thumbnails.
3. Google Chrome: There is a wrench looking thing in the upper right corner, click it and then on History, this will bring up your entire history.
