Revisiting your file history IN WINDOWS 8

There's a cool new applet called File History in the control panel that can help

you recover files, much like Mac OS X's Time Machine utility. You can configure

the folders to focus on and/or exclude and determine the location of the drive

for

the backup destination (preferably an external drive). This allows you to check

any file through Explorer by selecting the Home ribbon tab and clicking the

History option. It isn't enabled by default, so you have to enable and configure it

before you can use the History option.
