status bar not showing on ctrl+n

[Raymond]

Hello,

When I open a new browser window everything is fine except that the status
bar at the bottom of the window does not appear, I have to go to View/Status
Bar.

Why does it do this when the status bar is visible on pages when I start IE
and how can I get the new window to always open with the Status Bar visible?


Thanks in advance !

Raymond

Raymond,
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)

Verify that these Registry entries exist:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Show_StatusBar"="yes"
"Show_URLinStatusBar"="yes"

[Exception]
In some cases the "Remember last window size" info becomes corrupted in the
Registry.

Mike,

Thanks for the reply, the "Remember last window size" info must have become
corrupted in the
Registry. Checking that sort of thing is out of my skill level. I'll get a
techie here at work to check that for me.

thanks again,

Raymond
