How IE Favorites and History are stored on a Windows system

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

Eric

I've searched a lot...
- IE history is a hash - encrypted on first infos i got.
- Nothing that can be listed via a shell though... It's not in the 
registry on first info's either...
- It's purely user profile based and it may be hidden inside the user.dat 
file...

but i found a free ware!

cheers
