I'm trying to access history files on my computer

First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. So I've moved your question to its own thread.

If you are referring to your WEB browsing history, that depends on what web browser you use.

I can only say that if you're using IE, click on favourites, then history.

With Google Chrome, hold down the 'back' button, and at the bottom it has history listed. If it doesn't work, click on something (So that the 'back' option is actually available) and try again.
