Open Window in Explorer in XP

[Guest John]

I have a constant problem on one of my XP Pro workstations. The bottom

of the open window's Status Bar is not checked when the View menu is

clicked. I can click Status Bar, and the Status Bar appears on the

bottom as it is supposed to, but as soon as I even change folders within

the same window, the Status Bar goes away, and I must click on View and

Status Bar again to get the Status bar.

 

Could someone help me restore this feature of Windows Explorer (Status

Bar defaults as checked)?

 

Thanks,

John

Try this John:

Go to View > Status Bar. Then, without closing the window: Tools >

Folder Options > View Tab > Press "Apply to All Folders". "OK" out of

all the dialog boxes.

You will have to change views in any folders you wish to have a

different file listing view.

Jordan,

 

That is the 1st thing I tried, and tried it a few times, but it does

not work for that function (to hold the Status Bar checked on). It holds

all of the rest of my preferences in that area, but not that.

Any other ideas?
