Is there a registry tweak to make Explorer always show Status Bar?

[Viper187]

Why the hell can't Explerror remember simple s*** like this? It's almost as bad as IE not remembering that I can't stand "Webpage Complete." PoS

Is there a registry key to keep the **** status bar displaying?

[neo]

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Show_StatusBar"="yes"
"Show_URLinStatusBar"="yes"

save to a file named for example "XP_IE_EnableStatusBar.reg" and patch it.

An alternative method using current_user instead of local_machine:

SSB.CMD

@ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL
SET "K_=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" &SET "V_=_ _URLin"
FOR %%? IN (%V_%) DO REG ADD "%K_%" /V Show%%?StatusBar /D "yes" /F>NUL

Watch for line wrap, it's just three lines!
