Retrieving deleted internet files?

[Melissa Jayne]

Would it be possible to view deleted internet files i.e URL's? If it was the same day or if the Mac had not been switched off? Or are they any other ways of retreiving these?

Depends. If you're trying not to be spied on, in Tiger you can set some things in Safari's preferences to avoid such things. If you're trying to spy and the user has set his options right, you're out of luck. Either way: Trust is the solution.

Hi Melissa,

Which browser do you use?
Unless you have changed the settings for saving the history of your browser, the last few days of history should be easy to obtain, e.g. Safari and Shiira have both a menu item called History, and under that you can see the last (Safari's default is 9 days if I remember right) days of sites visited (unless you have private browsing on). Maybe there you can find the URL you forgot.
