IE 6.0 progress bar

[Jamie]

Hello,

I have noticed that the little green progress bar that
indicates the status of a web page coming online has
disappeared from two of my computers. I doubt that I
have changed any tangible settings.

Does anybody know how to turn this progress bar back on?

Is "progress bar" the proper term for the item in
question?

thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

Best regards,
Jamie

If that IS checked, but the Status Bar disappears, this post from Mike

If your status bar disappears when opening a new IE 6 browser window:

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. (XP only)
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"
