Darf ich hier auch auf deusch schreiben? Ich fand diesen Hinweis richtig gut erklärt. Ich habe es auf Anhieb verstanden, was nicht immer der Fall ist. Danke!

Just thought I’d say thanks to the person that added the registry trick. I was really annoyed after finally updating to XP SP2, and my status bar would disapear everytime I enabled it and changed directories in Windows Explorer. I’m glad it’s finally fixed, I missed the statusbar.

Most of you should just get Mozilla Firefox, that’s what I did when I was fed up with IE. It’s safer and has a lot more features than IE. The status bar never dissapears either. ;)

When you first start it it can load your IE bookmarks and settings.

HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMainStatusBarOther
This value (StatusBarOther) should be a DWORD with a value of 1.

Tried all suggestions, none of them worked.

What did work in XP Pro.
Ran regedit
went to
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMain
Show_StatusBar, modified to yes
Edit, ‘Permissions, ‘Advanced’ , ‘Set value’, ‘Deny’, for all user names (Administrators, RESTRICTED, SYSTEM, ect.)
