| 121934 | 2003-02-17 08:29:00 | I am running Internet Explorer 6.0.2600.blah blah blah, I don't think the version is important. My problem is when I open a window the status bar is never there, so I go to view > status bar, and this shows it. However I don't want to do this every time I open a new window. Is there a way of keeping it there? | promethius (1998) | ||
| 121935 | 2003-02-17 09:05:00 | Microsoft make such as simple basic function so elusive to fix. Try this. 1) With (only one) IE open, click View, select: Status Bar 2) Right-click on IE's Toolbar and select: "Lock the Toolbars" 3) Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right) 4) Right click on the Start Button to 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. (Click OK if this gives you another dialogue question) 8) Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right) 9) Reopen IE to any page, right-click on a link and select: "Open in New Window" The Status Bar should remain visible. 10)Click on the Start Button, select RUN, and type REGEDIT 11) Verify that these Registry entries exist: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main "Show_StatusBar"="yes" "Show_URLinStatusBar"="yes" |
