Ok, I'll take another stab at it :)
If you go to the Tools Menu and select Internet Options, at the bottoms 
you will see a button for "colors".  In that area, you can select what 
color visited or unvisited links will appear in.  I believe this is 
stored as part of the "history" for IE.  I don't know if you can recover 
it after a crash if the crash deletes your IE history or another related 
file.
