BrowsingHistoryView reads the history data of popular Web browsers Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Chrome Canary, SeaMonkey and Safari, and then displays the browsing history in one table. Includes Visited URL, Title, Visit Time, Visit Count, Web browser and User Profile. BrowsingHistoryView allows you to watch the browsing history of all user profiles in a running system, as well as to get the browsing history from an external hard drive.

You can also export the browsing history into csv/tab-delimited/html/xml file from the user interface, or from the command-line.

IECookiesView v1.75 Updated

  • Suggested by AlephX

IECookiesView is a small utility that displays the details of all cookies that Internet Explorer stores on your computer, view and search through them, deleting the unwanted cookies etc.

Category:
System Requirements: Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7
Writes settings to: Windows registry. I am accepting this as portable because it can be used to quickly locate and remove unwanted cookies in a crunch. Be warned that all UI settings are written to the registry, so any UI configuration you make is reset when you run the app on a different machine.
Stealth: ? No
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch iecv.exe.
What's new?
  • Added limited support for Internet Explorer 10.0. On IE10, the cookies index file (index.dat), which stores information about every cookie file, is no longer used. Instead, the information is stored in .edb database which is locked for reading/writing by another process.
    Due to this change, when reading the cookies of IE10, the upper pane displays only partial information and some of the other features may not work properly.

Now this great little utility saves it's settings in the local folder making it totally portable. THANK YOU, Nir !

1.71 works for ie7 (even though nirsoft does not claim it) it also works for vista (with the caveat that you cannot get rid of the signature warning even if you unblock in the file properties) 1.70 Works with Vista/ie7/portably but does write some items to registry

You make a good point, AdrianK_IT, but it's probably too late to change the name. In the latest version, I added some commandline handling to make this application easily scriptable.

IEProxyToggle.exe -on
IEProxyToggle.exe -off
IEProxyToggle.exe -toggle

Thanks for the feedback. =]

@ skwire: Thanks for this good program.
The commandline mode is mentioned at "What's new >>"

Actually, I have made a mistake in my previous comment; one needs to set Firefox etc to 'Auto-detect ... ' to keep the proxy settings in sync with the 'toggle' state. If one selects the 'Use system ... ' option while 'IE proxy enabled', access is blocked.
So you probably did get the name more right than wrong!
I have to say, discovering this program via the update posted here was total serendipity. I had just set up an OpenSSH server, and was experimenting with PuTTY Portable so I could create SSH tunnels to and through it; your app just made my life so much easier!

VideoCacheView v2.45

Checker on 17 Dec 2012
  • 120KB (uncompressed)
  • Suggested by JohnW

VideoCacheView automatically scans the entire cache of Internet Explorer and Mozilla-based Web browsers (Including Firefox) and finds all cached video files. It allows you to easily copy the cached video files into another folder for playing/watching them in the future. If you have a movie player that is configured to play FLV files, it also allows you to play the video directly from your browser's cache.

How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch VideoCacheView.exe.
What's new?
  • Added support for split video files of dailymotion.com
    Be aware that the merged .flv file created from dailymotion.com is not played properly by some FLV players. In order to play this kind of file, you can try to use the latest version of VLC Media Player. VLC Media Player has the ability to play the entire merged .flv file, though it initially detects only the first fragment.

this used to work well. unfortunately, either firefox or youtube has just changed the way it delivers the video so this no longer works. video is no longer stored in a temporary cache, i think. :((

If it is portable, how come it is displayed as an installed program in the control panel:

juvera: there's a version with install/uninstall support but the other one should be portable... should we retest?
