    status in IE after SP2 fixes

    Has anyone noticed that status no longer works in IE after updating to SP2?
    I have several window popups that are supposed to be status bar free but
    all show the status bar now.

          As it should be. If people had not abused it and kept removing basic
          functionality of the browser, MS wouldn't have had to stop it from being
          removed. KWIM?

              Changes to Functionality in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
              Part 5: Enhanced Browsing Security
              Internet Explorer Using Feature Control Registry Settings with Security
              Zone Settings

              "if the feature is turned on for Windows Restrictions, this feature:
              - Forces the status bar to be present in script-initiated Internet
              Explorer windows with the title bar [those that were created with
              window.open()].
              - Constrains the size and positioning of script-initiated Internet
              Explorer windows that have title and status bars to ensure that the
              title bar and the status bar in these windows is always visible to the
              user."

              Why do you want or would you want to remove the toolbar of the browser
              window of users by which they can compare urls with the one in the
              location bar? One way to prevent successful url spoofing hack is to
              compare the info with the one in the status bar.
              Why do you want or would you want to remove the toolbar which displays
              security connection (SSL padlock icon) anyway?

              The site said to use Internet Explorer 5 or better... so I switched to
              Netscape 7.2 :)
