Status Bar Missing 2

[Ambatim]

Hi,

Status bar appears when I open IE for the first time.
Whenever I press Ctrl+N to open a new window the status bar is not there. Its quite troublesome to keep manually turning it on. Is there any setting anywhere which I could enable? I'm using IE 6 on Win 98 SE 4.10.2222A.
Thanks in advance

Your question has already been answered by Mseng in the FAQ section for this forum. Below is the fix for your problem.

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

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

3. Open Windows Explorer(Not Internet Explorer!), click View and select: Status Bar

4. Click Tools | Folder Options | View tab

5. Click the "Apply to all folders" button.

Hi Retrochoir,

But no use.

The problem still persists...

Copied from another newsgroup:

[[
1) With (only one) IE window 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" ]]

Do any good?

OK, try this:

1) Open the Registry Editor. (Start>Run>regedit)
2) Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
3) Right Click on Show_StatusBar and select Modify
4) Change the value to yes

Hope this helps
