One of my biggest Internet Explorer pet peeves is the annoying tendency for the “status bar” at the bottom to dissappear, requiring me to click on View<\/i> -> Status Bar<\/i> to get it back. I prefer to have the status bar present so that I can see where web links point to when I hover over them with my mouse pointer.<\/p>\n

I found this as a solution to the problem:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. With (only one) IE open, click View, select: Status Bar<\/li>\n
  2. Right-click on IE’s Toolbar and select: “Lock the Toolbars”<\/li>\n
  3. Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right)<\/li>\n
  4. Right click on the Start Button to open Windows Explorer, click View, select: Status Bar<\/li>\n
  5. Right-click on Explorer’s Toolbar and select: “Lock the Toolbar”<\/li>\n
  6. Click Tools | Folder Options | View tab<\/li>\n
  7. Click the “Apply to all folders” button. (Click OK if this gives you another dialogue question)<\/li>\n
  8. Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right)<\/li>\n
  9. Reopen IE to any page, right-click on a link and select: “Open in New Window” The Status Bar should remain visible.<\/li>\n
  10. Click on the Start Button, select RUN, and type REGEDIT<\/li>\n
  11. Verify that these Registry entries exist:
    \n

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Main
