Hi

I am reposting because unfortunately what was advised in my previous post,
did not work. I would be grateful to know of another possible solution.

Thanks
 
The original problem posted was "If I tick "Status Bar" under "View", it
displays the lower
status bar as expected, but if I restart IE browser or
launch a new IE browser, "Status Bar" is no longer ticked.

Please can you let me know if this can be saved. "

If you sort by username in Outlook, you will see the original problem and a
solution that was suggested but did not work.

Hopefully you can assit. I look forward to hearing back.
Regards
Julia

Some have had luck with this procedure:

Close all other windows.
Open Windows Explorer.
Make sure that the status bar is showing.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | View and click the option to make all folders
like this one.
Reboot.

If that doesn't do it, here's a more thorough method from Mike Burgess:

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.
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"
