Internet Explorer Hacks and Tips
Did you ever get your Toolbars in IE set just right only to reboot and you lose your settings? Many times when Toolbars are added or removed the Registry entry that controls these settings does not get updated or has become corrupt. You can download a small reg file to reset (to default) and correct this behavior.
- Download: ResetBrowserToolbar .reg [right-click and select: "Save Target As"
To use: right-click and select: Merge - Ok the prompt and reboot.
Missing Status Bar
The above reg file will correct this behavior, if your status bar disappears when opening a new IE browser window. However make sure that option is selected - right-click the top Toolbar and select: Status Bar. If you are still having problems verify the below Registry entries exist and are correct:
[HKEY_CURRENT_ USER\Software\ Microsoft\ Internet Explorer\Main]
“Show_StatusBar”=”yes”
“Show_URLinStatusBar”=”yes”
