How to View Url Address

When I used Netscape, I was able to point to an internet
link and the Url Address would automatically appear at the
bottom of the Browser Page, so I could read it and decide
if I wanted to go there or not. How do I get Internet
Explorer to do that ?
Thanks
 
GHall,
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)

Verify that these Registry entries exist:

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

[Exception]
In some cases the "Remember last window size" info becomes corrupted in the
Registry.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Window_Placement"=

Right-click on "Window_Placement" and select: Delete
Note: Remember to Export the key before editing.

Thank you so much for your help Mike. That Solved the
problem. I knew there had to be a way to get the program
to do it, but I had no idea about how to get it to do so.
