OK, yes, I'm talking to myself. I deserve a little leeway here I think. >Anyone know how to enable the status bar in Windows Explorer by default? I just seemed to have solved it. Maybe. It looks like it, but I'll believe= it when it is still working tomorrow and next week. Instead of in Windows Explorer, I opened "My Computer". Enabled the status= bar, and then saved all folder options "like the current folder". Now that= appears to have set the status bar enabled by default in both "My= Computer" and Windows Explorer. I've tried the same procedure from within Windows Explorer before, and it= didn't save the status bar setting. I don't remember if I ever tried it= from "My Computer" before; I tend to think not, since I always use= Explorer. **shrug** Well, whatever works I suppose.
