Help with internet browser

I cannot remember what caused this, but somehow the little thing at the end of the browser that displays the url name for the link that you’d be clicking on, and if it’s loading.
No matter how I resize it, it won’t display it.

Help?

If it is IE that you’re using, Click View>Status Bar.

Some websites seem to be able to turn it off for you. Annoying.

Problem solved.

Thanks.

My status bar kept disapearing every time I’d open a new window

Here is a fix I found somewhere on the web (I lost the source - I emailed it to myself)

  1. With (only one) IE open, click View, select: Status Bar
  2. Right-click on IE’s Toolbar and select: “Lock the Toolbar”
  3. Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right)
  4. Open Windows Explorer, click View, select: Status Bar
  5. Right-click on Explorer’s Toolbar and select: “Lock the Toolbar”
  6. Click Tools | Folder Options | View tab
  7. Click the “Apply to all folders” button. (XP only)
  8. Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right)
  9. Open IE to any page, right-click on a link and select: “Open in New
    Window”
    10)Verify that these Registry entries exist:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
“Show_StatusBar”=“yes”
“Show_URLinStatusBar”=“yes”
