conceptualclarity Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I use the Maxthon browser. Recently I had a BSOD crash that wiped out the much greater part of my Maxthon history. I utilize the history a lot, so this was disconcerting. The Maxthon history is kept in a folder under C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\. Is there any chance at all that a System Restore in XP would get this history back for me?

Mcinwwl Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 You might try. Official specs say, that 'Local user profiles' are also restored. Make another system restore point before restoring anything, so you can safely rollback As I side-note, I'd recommend against using Maxthon, as it has identified spyware-like behaviour, constantly phoning Beijing servers... https://portableapps.com/node/54786 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
