UrlHistory and Internet Explorer

Wednesday, January 26th, 2005 | Development

Back in 1997 I started a humble MFC project to manage my URL history in IE so I could keep track of when I had been to which pages, etc. Like it so frequently happens with spare-time projects, something else came up and it’s been lying in an unsuspecting corner of my harddisk’s sector 27724 collecting dust ever since… well, not literally, I hope.

As I was cleaning out a bit of miscellaneous projects on my disk and trying to work out which projects I wanted to finish sometime, I came across the MFC project and thought… hmm, IE has this stuff in it nowadays, so why not just right write up a wrapper around it for .NET and provide it so tools are a bit easier to write to do custom things. For instance take a snapshot of newly visited pages since yesterday and create a graph of your browsing activity, or what have you of projects one can think of.
