What is a "computer history"? Do you mean "Internet History"? If so, you
could check it, but as it is periodically overwritten (depending on your own
settings) or a button can be clicked to clear it, it won't be of much use.

Hi

Do you mean Internet History? If so, open Internet Explorer and click on the History icon. If it isn't there right click on the bar, select Customize and then add it. You will see so many days 'web wanderings'. It the History has already been deleted, I don't think you can get it back. How far back did you want to go? you can increase the number of days that the History is kept by going to Tools>Internet Options - on the General tab adjust the drop down menu under 'History'.

If you deleted it there's not much hope. I'm not sure but I think a system
restore would do the job.

Your paranoid wife has a reason to be paranoid.

Noel,

You know your wife will find out about us sooner or later.
Why not just tell her now?

Love,

Trixie
