Windows bottom toolbar ..

[aychamo]

Hello guys :)

I have Windows XP Pro. When I open my Internet Explorer, I don't have my bottom toolbar, the one that shows where a website is leading when you MouseOver.

I feel like a fool for asking, but how can I enable that toolbar? I can't for my life find where to enable it!

Sigh... Thank you:)

Hey man ;)

Sometimes it will stay, and sometimes it doesn't. If I close Explorer with my last window that was open having the status bar, it will stay. But it still goes away. Is there a way to make it more default or something?

Yes, double-click on "My Computer" so, explorer.exe so it utilises some portion of Windows' Explorer. Now follow:
View -> Status Bar (make sure it is checked)
Tools -> Folder Options...
Goto: View (tab)
Click on "Apply to All Folders"
OK, then close all windows.

Open IE, make sure Status bar is on.
Press: Ctrl + N (opens a new IE Windows)
Close all windows.
There are many other ways, but I find it useful when Windows registers registry entries by itself. If you dont want to go thru all of the above steps, you could try finding a registry tweak from: http://tweakxp.com

Hey I did the IE thing, Apply to All Folders. That did the trick! Thank you very much Kioria!
