re: XP Service Pack 2 and Explorer Status bar Thursday, September 9, 2004 at 8:04 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Doug (1 messages posted) A colleague of mine just showed me the solution.

The javascript blocking of the status property, however, (status=no) is a really aggravating me. On Wednesday, August 18, 2004 at 5:40 pm, Pixelskin wrote: >Just installed SP2.
