Thanks for letting me know where the default History folder is!
The History view in Internet Explorer 6 intermittently shows or does not
show the following:
By date
By site
By most visited
By order visited today
I have reinstalled IE and logged on as different users but it happens
whoever is logged on. Also when the History view does appear there are no
entries in any of the sections i.e. Today, Last week etc.
Any idea what might be causing this?
