Part 2 - Examining cookies and history

I didn't face any problem opening cookies folder but history folder resisted to the bitter end. I opened history folder but everything was hidden.

There should be a folder called history.ie5. I Typed the full address in the address bar of Windows Explorer and hit Enter.
A message box opened saying Windows cannot find C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History\history.ie5 Check the spelling and try again.
I have a dual boot machine, so I booted from Windows XP and tried to open the History folder to no avail.

At last I booted from CD/DVD drive with Mepis Linux live CD and voila. Below is a screenshot of the contents of history folder.
