Windows doesn't create a "History" but your browser does. Unless the people that use your computer delete the History in the browser. Go to the History icon on your browser to see where they have been. If it's empty they have covered there tracks'

Search for a folder called "Recent"
There will be some things there that you can keep track of the kids.
EDIT: just typing recent in the search line turns up a lot of stuff.

Hi -

Turn on Parental Controls -
START | Control Panel | Parental Controls

Just make sure it is not your parents that you will be using Parental Controls on!
