Would someone please help me find the setting to turn IE6‘s View->Status Bar on by default? HKEY_Current_User\\Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\Main\Show_StatusBar is already set to yes but that doesn’t make a difference for new windows.
[later: a solution from stef in comments: “Open up My computer. View -> Status bar Tools -> Folder Options Under the View tab, choose ‘Apply to All Folders'” Thanks!]
[much later: this may be finally fixed in Windows XP SP2]
