You have to add the mouseover events to each hyperlink, and remove them from
the body tag.
href=http://www.website.com onmouseover="window.status=' ';return true;"
onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;">


However, I am one of those people who tend to close / leave a site when I
can't see where the link I'm clicking is going.

In addition, this only hides it from the status bar. It doesn't hide it from
the HTML source code, which can't be hidden.

You can also just right-click on the hyperlink and see where it goes.

Links to files on the Internet are really not considered secured assets.
I'm not exactly sure why people would want to do this unless they are
offering some kind of paid file for download and don't want people to hit it
directly. If that's the case, hiding the hyperlink is not the solution.
Storing the files outside of the Web server content and having some
server-side process that will serve the file only after conditions are met
is the solution.
