IE6 missing status bar in multiple windows

Can anyone tell me how to set the status bar to appear in all open IE windows? It only appears automatically in the first open window, to view it in any other windows I have to set it manually .
Thanks

 

Welcome. Try this:

Close all applications
Open Windows Explorer (you can use Windows Key+E)
Select View > Status Bar (you should now see the status bar)
Go to Tools> Folder Options > View tab
Click Apply to All Folders
Click ok to accept the change
Close that instance of Windows Explorer and re-open.

 

Thanks Kevin, I was looking for folder options in IE, who would have thought it was in Windows explorer!Everything is working now

 

Glad that fixed you up. Thanks for posting back.
