Every time you open a program from the start menu, the date and number of times you used it is stored in an encrypted database.
The Start Menu Click History Viewer reads the Explorer UserAssist Data from the registry and allows you to see exactly that information is stored in this location.
When first looking at the contents of this registry key one might think they have been infected by a trojan or something. But in fact, its EXPLORER.EXE, a Windows system program, that writes these keys.
Among the information stored you will find references to titles of web pages, .url files in favorites, local files and shortcuts.
There are entries for things accessed only when Windows was first installed (like drivers). This means that Windows logs this information and never deletes the log data.
In addition of being a very high security risk this also bloats the registry, which fragments it, slowing Windows down.

Index.dat are files hidden on your computer that contain all of the Web sites that you have ever visited.
Every URL, cookies and browsing history is listed there. The file locations and names depend on what version of Internet Explorer you have.
If you are running IE version 4.0 or above, the file name is "index.dat". Microsoft has not supplied an adequate explanation as to what these files are for or why they have been hidden so well.
index.dat Viewer reads the index.dat files directly. This makes sure that what you see displayed by the program are the exact contents of the index.dat files.
