Internet History Access?

A little assistance, if you please. I would like to find out how, through Windows Vista, I can check the history of internet sites visited; I'm specifically talking about history, where not only the visited sites are listed, but also the dates they were visited, as well as how long the sites were visited. I know where I can find just the basic history, as well as any temporary 'cookies' acquired, but I'm pretty sure that there's a way I can check the specific information, which I am looking for. The reason being, is that I want to be able to check my workplace computer, for any unauthorized or illegal websites, which some of my co-workers, who also have access to the computer, might have visited, when they visited them, and how long they might have been on those sites. Any and all information, that someone can afford me, would be greatly appreciated...

    Most schools do have a policy against using personal accounts on school computers, and if you have your password saved (so you sign in automatically) they technically could, yes. I would advise not using Yahoo during school time, but maybe finding a forum you can post anonymously on without logging in just for you & your friends. So... 1. Possibly. It depends on settings you have saved on your account. 2. Not very likely, but you shouldn't really be on IM at school anyway. Use your phone or something instead. 3. The school can see what you have been searching for definite, and will probably be monitoring every pupil for anti-bullying reasons etc. 4. If you have your password saved and the 'chat log' auto computer save on, yep. Just use the school internet for what it is meant for and keep personal stuff for at home, then you'll be fine.

    look at the top of your screen there should be two stars on the left top side, click on the star that does not have the plus sign, then click on history, then you can see the dates click on whatever date, once you have done that the informatin you want will come out ..
