Description

BrowsingHistoryView is a utility that reads the history data of different Web browsers (Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Opera) and displays the browsing history of all these Web browsers in one table. The browsing history table includes the following information: Visited URL, Title, Visit Time, Visit Count, Web browser and User Profile. BrowsingHistoryView allows you to watch the browsing history of all user profiles in a running system, as well as to get the browsing history from external hard drive.
You can also export the browsing history into csv/tab-delimited/html/xml file from the user interface, or from command-line, without displaying any user interface.

Known Limitations and Problems

Start Using BrowsingHistoryView

BrowsingHistoryView doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - BrowsingHistoryView.exe

After you run BrowsingHistoryView, the 'Advanced Options' window is displayed. By default, BrowsingHistoryView offers you to load the history of all Web browsers and all user profiles in the last 10 days, but you can change the options according to your needs.

After pressing 'Ok' in the 'Advanced Options' window, BrowsingHistoryView loads and displays the browsing history according to the options you chose.

The 'Advanced Options' Window

Reading Older History From Shadow Copies

If your hard drive has one or more shadow copies, you can view the history stored inside these shadow copies by selecting the 'Load history from the specified profiles folder' option in the 'Advanced Options' window and then choosing the desired shadow copy path (I'll be something like '\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy2\users') from the path combo-box.
Inside shadow copies you may find old history items that don't exist in the current system as well as history items there were deleted by clearing the Web browser history.
Be aware that the shadow copies feature only works starting from Windows Vista (XP is not supported).

Command-Line Options

/cfg <Filename> Start BrowsingHistoryView with the specified configuration file. For example:
BrowsingHistoryView.exe /cfg "c:\config\bhv.cfg"
BrowsingHistoryView.exe /cfg "%AppData%\BrowsingHistoryView.cfg" /stext <Filename> Save the browsing history into a regular text file. /stab <Filename> Save the browsing history into a tab-delimited text file. /scomma <Filename> Save the browsing history into a comma-delimited text file (csv). /stabular <Filename> Save the browsing history into a tabular text file. /shtml <Filename> Save the browsing history into HTML file (Horizontal). /sverhtml <Filename> Save the browsing history into HTML file (Vertical). /sxml <Filename> Save the browsing history into XML file. /sort <column> This command-line option can be used with other save options for sorting by the desired column. If you don't specify this option, the list is sorted according to the last sort that you made from the user interface. The <column> parameter can specify the column index (0 for the first column, 1 for the second column, and so on) or the name of the column, like "Title" and "URL". You can specify the '~' prefix character (e.g: "~Visit Time") if you want to sort in descending order. You can put multiple /sort in the command-line if you want to sort by multiple columns.

Examples:
BrowsingHistoryView.exe /shtml "f:\temp\history.html" /sort 2 /sort ~1
BrowsingHistoryView.exe /shtml "f:\temp\history.html" /sort "URL" /sort "Visit Time" /nosort When you specify this command-line option, the list will be saved without any sorting. /SaveDirect Save the browsing history in SaveDirect mode. For using with the other save command-line options ( /scomma, /stab, /sxml, and so on...) When you use the SaveDirect mode, the history lines are saved directly to the disk, without loading them into the memory first. This means that you can save a list with large amount of history lines into your disk without any memory problem, as long as you have enough disk space to store the saved file. The drawback of this mode: You cannot sort the lines according to the column you choose with /sort command-line option. /HistorySource <Source> Specifies the type of history data source:

/HistorySourceFolder <Folder> Specifies the folder path if /HistorySource is 3 or 4. /ComputerName <Computer Name> Specifies the remote computer name if /HistorySource is 7. /VisitTimeFilterType <Filter Type> Specifies the type of date/time filter: /VisitTimeFilterValue <Filter Value> Specifies the filter value when /VisitTimeFilterType is 2 or 3 /VisitTimeFrom <Time>
/VisitTimeTo <Time> Specifies the date/time range when /VisitTimeFilterType is 4. date/time value must be in the following format: dd-mm-yyyy hh:nn:ss

For example:
BrowsingHistoryView.exe /VisitTimeFrom "10-01-2012 12:00:00" /VisitTimeTo "18-02-2012 10:00:00" /LoadIE <0 | 1>
/LoadFirefox <0 | 1>
/LoadChrome <0 | 1>
/LoadSafari <0 | 1>
Specifies whether to load the history of IE/Firefox/Chrome/Safari Web browser. 0 = Don't load, 1 = Load. /StopIECacheTask <0 | 1>
Specifies whether to stop the cache task of IE10/IE11/Edge (0 = No, 1 = Yes).

Here's some command-line examples:
BrowsingHistoryView.exe /HistorySource 4 /HistorySourceFolder "H:\Documents and Settings\User01" /stab "c:\temp\history.txt"
BrowsingHistoryView.exe /HistorySource 3 /HistorySourceFolder "G:\Documents and Settings" /VisitTimeFilterType 3 /VisitTimeFilterValue 10 /scomma "c:\temp\history.csv"
BrowsingHistoryView.exe /HistorySource 1 /LoadIE 1 /LoadFirefox 0 /LoadChrome 0 /LoadSafari 0 /shtml "c:\temp\history.html"
BrowsingHistoryView.exe /HistorySource 2 /VisitTimeFilterType 4 /VisitTimeFrom "01-01-2011 00:00:00" /VisitTimeTo "01-01-2012 00:00:00" /stab "c:\temp\history.txt"

Be aware that you can use any variable stored in tne .cfg file as command-line parameter, even if it's not specified in the above command-line list.
