The answer is actually on this site. To fix the Windows Explorer, you have to go
to the registry and add a value that is missing:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\StatusBarOther
This value (StatusBarOther) should be a DWORD with a value of 1.
And this fixes everything! Good Luck.
BTW, even though I was an administrator, I wasn't able to edit the registry. Right-click
in the Main Key and select Permissions, then delete the Special Permissions set by
default by the system, and your ready to go.
