OK, brainiac. How do I get my status bar to show all the time?

No, I mean status bar. You know, the bar at the bottom of the screen that shows what your d/l progress is and shows the addy to links. Mine used to show constantly in Explorer, now it does'nt and I can't figure out how to turn it back on and stay on.

view>status bar
works for one session

taskbar> properties> autohide off
does not work.

Your mad IT skills are slippin'.

You're the one using IE.

Mozilla Firefox, it's options, and it's various plug-in's are far more customizable.

View menu, put a checkmark next to 'Status bar'.

And you really should be using Firefox for safety.

It works for one session. I can't make it permanent.

1) With (only one) IE 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"
