This will list the files deleted, so you may find a history file there if you are using IE (I'm not sure about other browsers). I think that this is an index.dat file, and there will be another new file created by IE. You may be able to find the old file and recover it to a safe place. I think that the structure and permissions of these files will not allow you to copy entries from the recovered history file to the new history file. All I can think of is that you look at the contents of the recovered file and then browse the url you find, which will populate your history again. Or just start from fresh, which might be a better idea.
