139311 2003-04-27 04:46:00 Whenever I start up IE6 (WinXP, SP1) the status bar is always present. But when I go to open a new window (Ctrl-N), the new window doesn't have one.
Yes, this can be solved by going View>Status Bar, but it's also very annoying to have to do this for each new window.
Is there an option, or a registry setting, to fix this?

With (only one) IE open, click View and select: Status Bar .

Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right) .

Open Windows Explorer, click View and select: Status Bar

Click Tools | Folder Options | View tab

Click the "Apply to all folders" button .

Usually this is due to pop-up windows etc changing the properties of the IE window and it getting partially saved... my PC at work does the same thing at the moment but am ignoring it.
