All I get when I click the toolbar History button is a dat file for IE5 (even though I use IE6). I have always saved my History for several days and use it often. How can I get it back?

To restore IE5
Open the Control Panel,double-click Add/Remove Programs icon,select IE in the window,click the Remove button,a popup window will appear that gives you the option to restore to a previous version of IE,select this option and proceed to follow on screen instructions,you cannot remove IE6,unless you use the utility IERadicator
download from the web.
You cannot recover history files,so check the options for number of days held before they are deleted by opening IE,click the Tools menu->Internet Options-General tab,you will see History,then you can set the days to keep pages in History
