Hi Nikeel
Try the following and see if it helps:
Status bar won't show or does not stay enabled
Start with one instance of IE. Select View | Status Bar. Now press Ctrl
while clicking the X in the upper-right-hand corner of the window to close
the application. Next, open My Computer and select View | Status Bar.
Finally, go to Tools | Folder Options and select the View tab. Click Apply
to all folders, confirm the dialog, and then close Windows Explorer.
Now ...... start regedit (Run>regedit )
Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Select "Show_StatusBar" = "yes"
Go to 'Permissions...' from Edit menu
Click 'Advanced'
Find your user name in the list & click 'edit' button
Put a check next to 'Set value' under 'Deny'
OK, OK, OK, OK.
or.......
Status Bar disappears
