If my PC crashes and I go back to IE 7 to retrieve recent pages I was reading
from the history, the most recent pages are not there. In fact only about
half of the expected history links for any given day are there; pages viewed
half an hour or more previously will not be in the history list. How often
are pages written to the history? I could understand pages I'd just opened
not being there, but pages I had opened, read and closed 30 minutes before?
In the last hour I have visited 5-6 domains; only one of them is in the
history.
Also, what happened to the IE7 feature I had in XP where if IE crashed - or
Windows did - I would be prompted with an offer to have the last set of tabs
open? I don't get that in Vista even if I click the option when I close the
browser, let alone when it crashes, which is when it would actually be
useful...
