Finally - a soluton to "The Case of the missing Status Bar"

MeisterPlanet: Internet Explorer status bar fix

I'm so glad I found this article. I recently installed XP on my workstation in the office and I noticed with much frustration that the Status Bar was not always shown when I opened a page. This really bugged me because, like the author of the article, I look at the status bar to see where a hyperlink is going to take me before I click on it. (Uh-oh, I might be a nerd after all!)

Well, the solution involved a bit of Windows black magic but 10 "Hail Marys" later I'm good again.
