Hi. I am running Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP. For some reason, the status bar at the bottom of every IE window occasionally decides to go AWOL and disappear. This is despite me setting it to appear, and locking the toolbars. Yet every now and then, I'll look down and it'll have vanished. Can certain websites make it disappear?

A minor problem, but hey, it bugs me. Any ideas?

I've given up for good on Mozilla/phoenix after it nuked about 30 bookmarks I spent 2+ hours collating less than 12 hours after I put them together. Opera is my weapon of choice at the mo, but it completely screws up whenever quicktime is required.

IE is actually a really good browser the moment you stop using it :O/

Though, to be fair, theres nothing actually wrong with being gay... IE however...

Well, explorer and IE are the same thing, but sometimes IE can take explorer's attributes, especially if you type a web address into explorer then close the window.

As you may know, explorer doesn't show the status bar by default, so you could have done this.

So in principle: IE's gay, use Mozilla.
