How To Find Out What Websites Have Been Visited on Home Computer

I am operating on a XP system. 

How can I find out what websites have been visited on a home computer.  I know about the History Button when using the internet, but I am referring to going back even as far as six months ago.  When running a scan for viruses and worms, I saw some sites listed under C;\ProgramFiles\Common Files\, but do not know how to get there to look at these.  Thanks for your help.

To get a look at what's listed in "Common Files" use Windows Explorer and navigate to the C: Drive>Program Files>Common Files. Click the + sign to the left of Common Files. You won't find any previously visited web sites under this category. You might look in your Cookies to get some indication of where the computer has been if these haven't been deleted.

I've just tried Index.dat suite, free download from

http://www.it-mate.co.uk/support/idsuite_download.asp

It lets you view the contents of the index.dat files (as well as clear them if you wish); the History one has the info of all web sites visited (unless some utility like index.datsuite was use to clear it, of course).

If you want to try it, if you have XP you only need 'basic instal' v 2.60 because XPO already has the VB6 runtime library. You can also download the help file (full), just extract it to the foldr where indexdat suite is installed (default is c:\program files\Index.datsuite)
