OK, this is a coupla tweaks in one;

first, sometimes the status bar works, sometimes not...

to fix this, you have to open windows explorer, (win key + e),...hit view, check status bar,...then hit tools, folder options, apply to all folders.

windows explorer is obviously integrated with ie...the status bar will now stick...

now for what has been the best browsing tweak I have seen, which is related to the previous tweak I just put up;

I love browsing with f11, but up until I found the previous tweak, I had to hit f11 every page...sot so anymore;

open windows explorer, hit f11 here, and do the same thing to apply this view to all folders...no your f11 preference will remain for most of your browsing...links may still come up normally, but most of your browsing will be in f11...enjoy
