I thought it could be fixed by turning it on (View->Status Bar) then exiting IE completely.
Sure enough, that works. When you re-open IE, the status bar appears at the bottom.
Try creating another IE window though and your status bar doesn't get created along
with it. Argh.
This went on for a week and then I had an idea. Microsoft has hugely integrated the
abstractions and code behind folder windows, explorer windows and internet explorer
windows. So, I opened up my C drive folder, turned on the Status Bar, then went to
the Tools->Folder Options menu, then clicked on the View tab then finally clicked
on the "Apply to All Folders" button. This effectively tells Windows to open all
'Folder' windows just like the one I am editing (which happens to have its status
bar shown).
