A visiting younger family member deleted my Internet Explorer history, is it...

...recoverable? Okay, here's the deal, I have a new HP Pavilion elite desktop that I've had hardly 2 weeks, maybe actually 2 weeks, but since the monitor showed up first with the printer, I forget the actual day the computer showed up. That's irrelevant I guess, but anyhow, I've been using it for about 2 weeks and obviously visiting websites during that time, and I didn't get around to either adding to favorites or e-mailing myself certain websites that I wanted to remember (because there was a particular article or I liked the site, etc...) and today, after a lengthy family "get together" of sorts, I went to use my computer after my nephew was on it, and turns out my history is gone. I know I didn't delete it and I have the number of days set at 21 to store the history, so he had to have done it. I don't even care what sites he visited, but I'm annoyed because I cannot retrieve the sites I went to. I tried Dutch Duck because they have a free trial and that didn't work, it's only recovering all the stuff that I've visited since they left before I found out the history was gone, when I went to search for a site I was at 2 days ago. Then I tried IEHV because it's free and I know a friend who used it but it didn't recover any of the missing history. I'm thinking they're permanently gone, but is there any way to possibly find them? If not, I'll deal of course, but I am so annoyed that my nephew did this because I truly couldn't care less what site he visited that he was trying to hide from me or his parents, he had no right to mess with my new computer. Oh, and just in case you're wondering, he was on it because I asked him to help me with my iTunes because I had a problem with my iPod and it not being recognized, so I thought he was just doing that for me. I told him not to touch anything else seeing as how the computer is brand new. Well, if anything I've learned my lesson. Lol. Hopefully though someone can help. Thanks.
