I found that the below method worked, BUT that after restart it had broken again
[so Ctrl+N for new window gave No status bar].
Looking in regedit revealed that there was simply a new folder to replace the one
i'd renamed [so i'd renamed 28 to 28-, then there was just a new 28]
So I tried just setting the permissions for that folder [the new 28 folder] to Deny
for both basic options. AND it worked perfectly, forcing new windows to have status
bar. I've tried restarting it and it still works perfectly.
[It seems like
it's very unlikely windows would change the permissions for the folder, but it's
understandable that it would make a new folder if the one it's looking for is missing.]
Hope that helps,
EJ

found & the highlight will change to it, if that don't work, just scroll to it. Press
F2 to rename it, add a - (dash) to the end of the number, so if it was 339 (what
mine was) rename it to 339-
