Bar at the bottom of window missing

[Joey]

Hello, over the last 2 weeks i have noticed that the
little bar at the bottom of the internet explorer is
missing. I don't really know the name for the little bar
at the bottom, but it is the bar that when you type in an
internet adress it usually says "Downloading... X %
complete" or something along those lines, and when the
web page is done loading the bar just says "Done". Does
anyone know how i can bring this bar back? Is it under
the options menu? I also have adaware and this has not
help it. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

Joey

Joey, it's called the Status bar, click View and then Status Bar.

Joey,
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.
