| 255873 | 2004-07-27 22:43:00 | The IE Status Bar is the gray horizontal bar at the bottom of the screen, displaying the URL or other web link, when the mouse hovers over a link on a web page. The status bar keeps disappearing on my IE6. If I go to View and click on Status Bar, it appears. But later it disappears and I have to go back to View - choose the Status Bar - again and again. Is there any way to keep it from disappearing? Perhaps it is a glitch in IE6 and I need to run the IE Self-Repair? Thanks. |
