history.dat replay attack

All –

Next during a PT it was discovered the browser history stored fully qualified domain and URI (ie. 
www.example.com/secure/login.do?session=UYUYFIBV876760760hGUYGU)

Which can be extracted and replayed in another browser. There is a default timeout as a control yet I want to have it 
removed when session is terminated. It was still there after the browser was closed AND replayable.

Any possible solutions to this issue

First does anyone the windows equiv the *nix history.dat? What is the file name (ntuser.dat?) or path?

Thx
- Don
