Status bar in IE and windows

[ihaveabu]

rite now, every time i install windows i have to go through this process to make sure the status bar is turned on in every window and ie window:

open ie. enable status bar

hold ctrl while clicking X (close)

then go to my computer

enable status bar

tools>folder options>view>Apply to all folders

i have to do that every time to make sure the status bar is displayed in every window. is there a way to make the status bar displayed in an unattended xp installation? like a reg tweak or something like that? thanks

Tweak for the explorer status bar (SP1 and SP2) in this thread:

Internet Explorer:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]

"StatusBarWeb"=dword:00000001

Not sure if that works for SP1.

Didn't you read my post? I put a link to a thread with instructions for the explorer status bar.

Also, this has been gone over numerous times. Do a search and you will see.

still a bit confused, do i just add this to the regtweaks.reg:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams]

"Settings"=hex:09,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,77,7e,13,73,35,cf,11,ae,\

69,08,00,2b,2e,12,62,04,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,43,00,00,00

?

anyone?

You're using SP2 so this is all you should need:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"StatusBarOther"=dword:00000001
"StatusBarWeb"=dword:00000001

That streams deal was just for the status bar in explorer windows for SP1.
