Status Bar on Explorer

[Allen Greb]

Explorer will not open with the Status bar enabled as the default.
How can I make all drives show and not open up at the My Documents.

How can I fix this please as I cannot find the option.
Thank you.

WinXP Pro with all updates.

drives as well - Programs>Accessories - right click on the WE icon and type
or copy/paste the following into the 'Target' box:

%systemroot%\EXPLORER.EXE /e,c:
