I need to know if the is a registry setting or explorer setting that keeps the status bar always on the bottom of explorer to show file size and other info. When I open explorer, I need to go to view first then down to status bar to enable it. I want this option to always be enabled. Same goes for the status bar in IE. Any options?

Thanks

Jack

Open your windows explorer, and set it the way you want to see it always (with Status bar etc). Go to Tools>Folder Options>View; click on "Like Current Folder".
This should be your answer.

I did manage to solve the problem although the answer was not targeted to WinXP users. I should have mentioned I was using XP upfront. The XP method would be tools/folder options/view and click tab for "Apply to All Folders" not "Like Current Folder".
