I couldnt find any implementation info on google, Please forward me or explain what is the way to go.

See if you can read the history files for each browser and parse the details from there.

CHROME:

in xp = C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\ in vista = C:\users\USER\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\

FIREFOX: C:\Documents and Settings\owner\Local Settings\History

IE: C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\History

I have never tried this an don't know if the history is stored encrypted, and what level of details (time opened, time closed etc) are stored.

what you ask for is highly dependent on browser/browser version used (and potentially Windows version too)...

Since you don't describe what the goal is it is hard to come up with specific solutions/options...

One rather browser-agnostic option would be to implement a proxy and configure the system/browsers to use that proxy... the proxy would then do the logging. but this could easily be circumvented by changing the proxy configuration in the browser...
