For some reason, my status bar in explorer windows and Internet Explorer keeps getting turned off. There doesn't seem to be any pattern. Anybody know how to fix?
And I have already used the "Make all folders appear like this folder" button.

Same here... :mad:
Before you clicked apply to all folders did you have the status bar under View checked? I had the same problem and this fixed it not only in folders but in Internet Explorer.
Found this might help.
How to retain the Status Bar
If your status bar disappears when opening a new IE 6 browser window:
1) With (only one) IE open, click View, select: Status Bar
2) Right-click on IE's Toolbar and select: "Lock the Toolbar"
3) Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right)
4) Open Windows Explorer, click View, select: Status Bar
5) Right-click on Explorer's Toolbar and select: "Lock the Toolbar"
6) Click Tools | Folder Options | View tab
7) Click the "Apply to all folders" button.
8) Hold down the Ctrl key and click the close button (upper right)
9) Open IE to any page, right-click on a link and select: "Open in New Window"
10)Verify that these Registry entries exist:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
"Show_StatusBar"="yes"
"Show_URLinStatusBar"="yes"

That had been bugging me for months
I have tried what you wrote out, and that didn't work... I checked the registry and it said no beside show status bar so i changed that to yes, but it changed back to no again, and so i tried again, same thing, went back to no... can someone help me, this is really getting on my nerves!!
After setting it to show the status bar you can try
going to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
select "Show_StatusBar"
go to 'Permissions...' from Edit menu
click 'Advanced'
find your user name in the list & click 'edit' button
put a check next to 'Set value' under 'Deny'
ok i did that i think i got it to stick to yes by accident... i had to try a bunch of different ones because there were about 4 different things all simularly named...
the registry says yes now but the the staus bar won't stay... i went back in and tried the other stuff you suggested and that didn't make it stay there either so now i am really confused, it just doesn't seem to be working at all.
