    For some reason, this fix doesn't stay fixed.

    Does not stay - navigate to a new folder or close and open windows explorer, the status bar is again disappeared. True, I can turn it on by View/Status Bar, but I want it to be there by default and ALWAYS !!

    Great job, genius.
    Now that you've told us the painfully obvious solution, can you perhaps tell us what happens when this does NOT work?
    Even after 'apply to all folders', when the status bar continues to play truant?

    This DOES fix the status bar problems cause by SP2 as the recipe says. It doesn't fix status bar errors caused by other problems.

    IE 6.0 SP1 and prior has a DIFFERENT status bar bug. I'll post how to fix it as well.

    The problem of is only an incorrect perimmion to a registry key.
    The system and administrator does not have permission to the correct key (full control is disabled)

    To solve the problem :

    Start regedit
    Richtclick on "HK Current_UserSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMain"
    Select "Permissions"
    Select "Advanced"
    Remove all existing permission entries
    Enable "Inherit from parent ... " DON'T FORGET THIS !!!
    Click "Apply"
    Close al windows wit the "OK" button
    Close regedit
    Open Windows Explorer (or My Computer)
    Select View
    Enable "Status Bar"
    Problem solved ...

    I hope this can help you ...

    HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMain
    Show_StatusBar, modified to yes
    Edit, 'Permissions, 'Advanced' , 'Set value', 'Deny', for all user names (Administrators, RESTRICTED, SYSTEM, ect.)

    Most of you should just get Mozilla Firefox, that's what I did when I was fed up with IE. It's safer and has a lot more features than IE. The status bar never dissapears either. ;)

    When you first start it it can load your IE bookmarks and settings.

    Just thought I'd say thanks to the person that added the registry trick. I was really annoyed after finally updating to XP SP2, and my status bar would disapear everytime I enabled it and changed directories in Windows Explorer. I'm glad it's finally fixed, I missed the statusbar.
