Can System Restore in XP recover browser history?

I use the Maxthon browser. Recently I had a BSOD crash that wiped out the much greater part of my Maxthon history. I utilize the history a lot, so this was disconcerting.

The Maxthon history is kept in a folder under C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\. Is there any chance at all that a System Restore in XP would get this history back for me?

System restore does what it says, it restores SYSTEM files. not user files

System restore is not supposed to touch any User filers on any computer
Thanks.

For future reference - use your Maxthon account and save [sync] your bookmarks, etc, to their server.
Did you do that?
Or export your bookmarks and save as HTML files to your desktop and save them there or to a USB dive, etc.
I have my bookmarks synced. Maxthon has done a good job of preserving them.

And also periodically backup that history file (unless the Maxthon account sync does that for you).
Maxthon account sync isn't doing that, so it's a good idea.
