I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I can see the history when going through the star and then clicking history. It shows websites visited, UNLESS the person who visited them has deleted them from the history. I want to be able to monitor what my son is looking at, even if he knows how to delete from history by right-clicking in IE.

Previously I had Windows XP, which would show the history by going through tools, internet options, browsing history, settings, view files. Even if the person had deleted the page from history while viewing, it would still show up using the method I'm describing.

This doesn't work with Windows Vista. In fact, Windows Vista doesn't show ANY webpages that have been visited at all if you go through tools, internet options, browsing history, settings, view files. Is there some setting that I need to change to make it show the webpages, or is Vista incapable of doing this?

Thanks for any insight.

In the long run you probably need to find a different method to monitor usage. Many of the browser now have a "privacy mode" that allows a user to surf without the history being recorded. Also assuming your son is of average intelligence it's only a matter of time before he figures out how to eliminate his tracks.

There are quite a number of programs out there to monitor web usage.
