I am not always seeing the links displayed in the status bar when the mouse
is over the link. What am I missing? On the Microsoft site, as well as,
flickr.com and within gmail among many others, I see some of the links and
others do not show up at all, I need to display properties to see the link.

Again, I have the status bar displayed, but why am I not seeing all the
links displayed in the status bar?

Thanks,

Because the site doesn't want you to know that?
Post a URL if you want help analysing a specific example.

What links on what pages? Windows version? IE version?

I'm a different person from the one who first asked the question about URLs
not showing in the status bar. I'm having the same problem.

I am using a new computer with IE 6.0 and Windows XP. I never had this
problem on my old computer, which also had IE 6.0 and Windows XP.

The problem is on all pages -- even sites like the New York Times and
microsoft.com.

The weird thing is that while a page is loading, I can see the URLs in the
status bar when I hover over a link on the page, but one the page is fully
loaded the URLs can't be seen.
