Open Dat – New News
Internet Explorer builds up a history of the websites you’ve visited. Every so often, it can pay to clear it out. Can you undelete Internet Explorer history?
As always with Windows, there’s more than one answer to this question.
The simple one is to use Windows built-in Restore feature.
At intervals, modern versions of Windows take a snapshot of your computer. These snapshots are called “restore points”. If you regularly install software, it can be worth manually setting a restore point before going ahead with the software setup routine. That way, if something nasty happens you can get your system back to how it was.
One of the most common questions concerning file extensions is what are .DAT files? DAT files are encountered frequently on many PCs and by many people. The simple answer is that DAT files are files which contain data. But that’s all it tells us and, unfortunately, that’s not enough.
The chances are that you’ll have a reasonably recent restore point set by your system. It’s then just a matter of running Windows Restore and you should get all your Internet Explorer history back.
But sometimes there are reasons that restore points don’t exist.
Maybe you’ve changed your system settings so that they aren’t automatically taken. Or maybe some malicious software has changed the setting for you. You probably don’t want to go to the hassle of re-ridding yourself of a virus. Or the latest system restore was taken before you installed a complicated piece of software.
What can you do in these instances to undelete your Internet Explorer history?
Getting straight to the point this means that there is no standard way of interpreting DAT files, and no way of knowing how to open the file unless you know what program created it. A file with suffix DAT is just a file created to be read by the parent application that created it.
Depending on what other software you are running, there’s a chance that there are some other files used by Internet Explorer to track your browsing history. These files are called index.dat and they may be hidden by the system and will almost certainly be littered across your hard drive in a variety of folders.
You can see why people use software to remove their tracks now, can’t you?
