Where is my browser history kept - what files, and in my profile or

only today's URLs. In Preferences, I have enabled saving browser
history and selected searching for 180 days.  I'm running SM 2.5
under XP.

I'm looking for the browser history file(s) because I don't do SM
maintenance from within SM, I use batch files.  Forex: for many
years, a batch file I run only on the first boot of any day clears
the cache directory in my SM profile.  Purpose was to manage HD space
by removing that big bunch of cookies - but could that now be
affecting my browser history?

If your objective is to clear cookies, you can set SM to do that every time it exits. See under Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Privacy & Security. -- Provided you close SM from time to time.

Unless you're a wildman on the web, I don't see where clearing cookies is going to save you much disk space, though. Your cache probably takes up a hundred to a thousand times more space, and you can set that to clear on exit as well, at the same dialog.
