Sometimes the Status Bar will not display, I can go to the View menu,
and RE-apply the check mark to display Status Menu, but it will not
stay locked. has anyone come across this before?

Some have had luck with this procedure:
Close all other windows.
Open Windows Explorer.
Make sure that the status bar is showing.
Go to Tools | Folder Options | View and click the option to make all folders
like this one.
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it, here's a more thorough method from Mike Burgess:
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"
