My status bar keeps dissappearing. I choose it from the view menu but
eventually it goes away. Any ideas how I can keep it.

TIA
Steve
 
Steve,
This repost from Mike Burgess should help:

If your status bar disappears when opening a new IE 6 browser window:

1) With (only one) IE open, click View, select: Status Bar
2) Right-click on IE's Toolbar and select: "Lock the Toolbar"
3) Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right)
4) Open Windows Explorer, click View, select: Status Bar
5) Right-click on Explorer's Toolbar and select: "Lock the Toolbar"
6) Click Tools | Folder Options | View tab
7) Click the "Apply to all folders" button. (XP only)
8) Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right)
9) Open IE to any page, right-click on a link and select: "Open in New
Window"
10)Verify that these Registry entries exist:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
"Show_StatusBar"="yes"
"Show_URLinStatusBar"="yes"

Hi Steve,

Let's try this way.

1. Open the Windows Explorer
2. Click View and make sure the Status Bar is selected
3. Click Tools > Folder Options
4. Go to the View tab
5. Click the "Apply to all Folders"

Then, close the Windows Explorer and restart the computer.

You will still get the status bar when you open the Windows Explorer or my
computer.

Thanks for using Microsoft News Group!
