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?

Hi conceptualclarity,

Sorry to hear about the loss of your MX history.

 

Using A System Restore Point is unlikely (very unlikely) to help, however without knowing exactly what happened and what consequences followed, it's difficult to be precise. However as always it's your choice and you might get lucky!

 

A far better plan might be to just "re-image" your Windows XP computer using whatever up to date system image software you normally use. Choosing an image made immediately prior to the problem occurring should do the trick for you.

 

Some folks have experienced similar issues in the past, but alas, seemingly did not have the foresight to ensure that their disc imaging routine, was totally up to date and covered everything they needed, so had to take different actions... Here's two links that give further information, that you may find helps:
