xp or ie6 ?

I think 6 of 1 half dozen of the other.
I can't use the history button on ie6 since switching to XP from win98. Just
shows me a bunch of folders in them labeled MSHist012004063020040701. and when
you expand it all you see is a index.dat file.

The history folder itself also shows an index.dat file.

Is there a way to get this thing back so I can see the links I visited recently
?

Yeah and in the meantime it's totally useless in it's current format.

that's pretty much more than I can handle at one sitting. The links to fix it.
I'm guessing if I can create a 'user' account for vs net admin and use that
everything should fall into place. In the mean time there's no simple fix till
I learn how this XP works ?

Seems it fixed itself. I just had a crash reboot and when I fired up IE it said
it wasn't my default browser. and asked me if I wanted to make it that way.
answered yes and voila history is now there.
