I did try this suggestion, and it did not work when I tried it. This
afternoon I scanned my system with Ad-Aware, and it found and removed many
items and after this cleaning, my IE browser windows have the status bar
again! Evidently one or more of the 'spyware' items was causing my problem.
Among
the 'bad guys' listed in the Ad-Aware scan log were:

STATBLASTER
MIDADDLE
COOLWEBSEARCH
VX2

Don't know if any of them strike you as particularly bad actors, but FYI
anyway. Cheers,
