Not possible. JavaScript has no capability to access the client's operating system or the Windows registry, or alter the default behaviour of the browser.

The only thing JavaScript can do using history is to jump back or forward by a specified number of entries (provided that there are that many entries in the specified direction or the call will fail).

There is no way to tell what entries there are in history, how many entries there are in history, or where in the list the current page is.
