Show Me Microsoft Windows XP (2nd Edition)

Windows keeps a list of your most recently used files, folders, and network computers in the History folder. Instead of navigating through a long list of folders to open a recently used file, you can use the History list to find it quickly. The History list works exactly like the one in a web browser. You can view the History Explorer bar in several ways: by date, by site, by most visited, and by order visited today.
