My old computer (RIP), had a shortcut on the desktop that allowed me
to view previous activity on the computer. I know it showed
individual files that had been accessed and I *think* it may also have
indicated web sites... I didn't use it much and don't remember for
sure.

Anyway, can anyone point me in the right direction to find that folder
again? I just stumbled across it by accident before.

TIA

In XP, the the recently accessed files switch needs to be turned on. Right
click on the taskbar, choose properties, then the Start Menu tab. Choose
customize. Then choose the Advanced tab. In the lower right cornor there is
box to check for most recently used files. Check and OK.
Hope this is what you wanted.
