I've tried all of these. No luck. One interesting thing is that I tried was
to get my status bar back using "http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/ietips.htm"
suggestion:
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
  "Show_StatusBar"="yes"
  "Show_URLinStatusBar"="yes"

I changed the "Show_StatusBar" to yes,but something changed it back to no
when I opened a new IE window.
