I found something you can try on a Goggle search:

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.
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"
