I have tried all of these. Nothing will work for me. I am running Windows XP with
SP2. When I go to the regedit.....the show status bar is set to no. How can I change
this to yes?? I went to edit and then modify and I changed it to yes, but when I
closed that down and open IE it wasn't working. I went back to the regedit and it
was still set to no. Someone pleasehelp! It is getting very annoying having to go
to view-status bar! Thanks

Press
