I really need help finding a code that can generate a web history log from all browsers on a computer and just display the links. I have tried a UrlHistoryWrapper and i guess my coding was not sufficient, i dont have enough to complete the code. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Sabone309,

This is a more difficult task that you may have realized. In order to get the browsing history of any browser, you will need something like a system proxy. If you're looking for a good enough solution, consider using the Fiddler Core API[^]. Fiddler is a Microsoft API that creates a web proxy that will trap all web browsing traffic.

Because its a simple web proxy, if you're users are using a tool such as Ultra Surf[^], they will be able to get around/bypass the Fiddler proxy. There are other solutions that get much deeper into the core of Windows, but I'll leave that to Smarter People[^]!

Good luck, I didn't provide any code, but I sure hope you feel I sent you in the right direction.

If I were you I would just look into the registry files...
I just came up with this within a couple minutes, you could experiment more if you wanted...

C#

using Microsoft.Win32;

C#

static bool HasBrowsedTo(string url)
{
   url = url.Replace("http://www.", "");
   object obj = Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\DOMStorage\" + url, string.Empty, null);
   return obj != null;
}

Just make sure your URI doesn't have a "/" at the end.
bool var = HasBrowsedTo("http://www.codeproject.com");
But you could fix that.
