Google Chrome can access the settings from the System Restore tool to recover deleted history. If you accidentally delete your history from Google Chrome’s Web browser or if you want to check up on Internet surfing habits for your kids, only to discover they have deleted the history, you can retrieve the history using the System Restore tool available on Windows machines. Google Chrome saves your browsing history in a registry file that System Restore can access and use to bring your machine back to its state on the day that the history was deleted. The System Restore tool does not affect new documents, pictures or other data.
