How can I access my Internet Explorer history?

Internet Explorer's "-history"--any way to make it more flexible?

• Is there any way to have Internet Explorer's "history" display actually become useful--by including the time of access, rather than just date? And/or by permitting the poor user to sort by time and/or URL, etc.? I have a suspicion this is not possible, because Microsoft wouldn't be that helpful. But there's no harm asking. This issue is not a desperate one, since I use a great program called PowerMarks to keep track of bookmarks that really matter (it stores, sorts, and permits annotation, etc.). But I'm just curious. (P.S. This is part II. In an earlier question I asked how to make the history file stop disappearing, and larre-ga answered that well...(In my case, it turned out to be a matter of space allocation, which Microsoft has coyly managed to make an issue that the average user will never be aware of! Ha ha! That company is full of great practical jokers!) bbb
