Everytime I open a new window or click a link that opens a page in new window, I don't get the status bar in that window. I have to go to view and start it my self every time. Why? Why won't it open the status bar with the new window? How can I correct this so it does open it?
I haven't found any setting that would change this in tools - internet options, or else where.
 
With only one IE window open, click View-->Status Bar | Right-click on IE's Toolbar and select "Lock the Toolbar" | Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right) | Open Windows Explorer, click View-->Status Bar | Right-click on Explorer's Toolbar and select "Lock the Toolbar". Select Tools | Folder Options | "View" tab | Click the "Apply to all folders" button | Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right) | Open IE to any page, right-click on a link and select "Open in New
Window".

Next, verify that the following Registry String Values exist, under the below Key (Start | Run | Type regedit and click OK)...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Internet Explorer | Main

"Show_StatusBar"= yes
"Show_URLinStatusBar"= yes :)
