Spying on end users may an unwelcome activity for most IT pros, but it is often a necessary duty for network administrators. In this IT Dojo video, I’ll show you a free tool called IEHistoryView that can help you investigate complaints of inappropriate Internet usage and suspicious browsing behavior.

After watching the video, you can learn more about IEHistoryView by reading Wally Bahny’s article, “Track a user’s Internet Explorer History with IEHistoryView”–the basis for this video.
