Huh. I was wondering about this for months, before I finally looked the problem up<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SYMPTOMS<\/b>
\nWhen you open a new instance of Internet Explorer 6 or Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (SP1) by using the keyboard shortcut (CTRL+N) or the New Window <\/b>command on the File <\/b>menu, the Status Bar is not displayed in the new browser window.<\/p>\n

Yup. And it’s been driving me crazy. Especially since any windows spawned off of that one, by any means, also lack it. And if that’s the last window you close, then when you next start IE, the windows still don’t have it.<\/p>\n

WORKAROUND<\/b>
\nTo work around this issue, click Status Bar <\/b>on the View <\/b>menu.<\/p>\n

Well, duh. But how does it happen? How do I stop it? What’s the fix, the patch, the solution><\/p>\n

STATUS<\/b>
\nMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.<\/p>\n

Which is basically the entire IE6 product line.<\/p>\n

Thanks much for that helpful advice. Especially since the problem was “last reviewed” over a year ago<\/i>.<\/p>\n
