IE Status bar keeps disappearing :-(

Hi,

Using IE version 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633 under WinXP.

The status bar (grey bar at bottom shows you links and page load
progress) keeps disappearing :-(

I can bring it back with View==>Status Bar==>Tick!
but after I close down IE, its gone again when i next open up.

Any clues??

 

Under Folder Options > View; do you have "Remember each folder's
view settings" checked?

 

Open one IE window, and select View / Status Bar.
Right-click on the toolbar and select 'Lock the Toolbar'.
Close the window whilst holding the CTRL key.

Open Windows Explorer, and select View / Status Bar.
Right-click on the Toolbar and select 'Lock the Toolbar'.
Select Tools / Folder Options / View and press 'Apply to all folders'.
Close the window whilst holding the CTRL key.

Open your registry editor (Start / Run / regedit), and check
that the following entries exist:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
+Software
+Microsoft
+Internet Explorer
+Main

In the right hand window:
Show_StatusBar - with a value of "yes"
Show_URLinStatusBar - with a value of "yes".

 

Mike,

Thanks for your help!

So far so good!!
