1. With Internet Explorer open, click View in the main menu and make sure there is a check mark in Status Bar -- do not close IE or this window.
2. Open Explorer, click View on the main menu and check Status Bar.
3. Click Tools, Folder Options, View, and click on Apply to all Folders -- should fix this type anomaly.
I would like to have the status bar on the bottom of the window to be on every IE window that I open, regardless wheather I open it from my toolbar or by hitting ctrl-N. For some reason this bar will not show up when I hit ctrl-N. It doesn't happen with all my other XP installs. ???
can someone help?
