    Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you looking for internet browser history? If you are talking about other history then I don't know what you are talking about. However, if you want the history of a web browser, it changes from browser to browser. If you are using Internet Explorer or Google Chrome,  then you can hit the Ctrl and H key at the same time and it will pop up. I'm not sure about Firefox though. Let me know what browser you are using, then I can help you better. If you are not looking for Internet Browser history, then let me know what you are looking for.

    If this was a Windows7 question, it ought to be in the Windows 7 area.
    In Windows 7 there is a 'recent documents' item.
    From Google:

    Where is the Recent Documents folder in Windows 7?
    Make a desktop shortcut to the folder “Recent Items”
        Right-click the desktop.
        In the context menu, choose “New”
        Select “Shortcut”
        In the box “Type the location of the item”, enter: %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\
        Click “Next"
        Name the shortcut “Recent items” or name of your choice.
        Click “Finish”

    Does that help?

        hi Ajfer03,

        you're correct.  i was searching for internet browser history.
        i've never used it, but i knew it was out there and not in "Internet Properties".   :D

        i'm using Google Chrome as my browser.  i did as you advised - CTRL/H key.
        POOF, it immediately presented itself !

        thank you anthony.
