Status Bar in Explorer (not IE) not staying "checked"

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I previously asked for help in the General area on this problem; got one reply which did not fix the issue. the Subject I submitted was "Open Window in Explorer in XP" in the NG: "microsoft.public.windowsxp.general." I hope either Jordan who responded, or someone else might have a fix for this. The "Apply to All Folders" (which I love to use) does not fix this problem.

I will paste in my original inquiry to the problem:
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

I will paste in the previous response which did not work. Perhaps someone has the fix for this problem:
