No history entries were found for the item and version combination specified

This is a message when I tried to view the history of a folder on TFS.

I googled the message and only a few exact matches came out. First two was useless. I was terrified for an instance, but this blog entry saved me :

The problem was that I had no permissions on the folder although I was an administrator. I could never remember to check the securities.

When I checked it I saw that the folder was not inheriting permissions. After inheriting permissions I could view the history of the folder.
