In general when I use Explorer I want to see the Status Bar. However,
I keep open a folder of shortcuts in List view with no status bar.
Before SP2, what I did was set up Explorer View Options the way I
mostly liked it and selected "Apply to All folders." I also checked
the box "remember each folder's settings."
In practice, most of my folders would come up in Details with the
Status Bar showing. For my photo folders, I would manually change the
view to Thumbnails and, for those folders, "remember . . " worked
fine. The same applied to the folders where I turned off the Status
Bar. The would reopen with no Status Bar.
This changed in SP2 as to Status Bar. That is the one View choice
where "remember . . ." does not work. Explorer still remembers which
folders want List, Details, or Thumbnails. But whatever my last choice
was for Status Bar, then all the folders come up that way.
This is annoying and I think it's a bug. I don't remember this from
the beta, but I may just not have noticed it.
