No and you must open all pages in a JavaScript generated windows, which means you site will not be
indexed by the search engines, if this is a concern.

In fact, there's a security setting in IE that will prevent you from doing
this at all with script if the site is in the Internet zone. The option is
called "Allow script-initiated windows without size or position
constraints", and it's disabled. That means that even if your scripted
pop-up tries to hide the status bar, it will still show up.

at all?

If you have a small pop-up, hiding the status bar makes it look much more
polished.

I noticed that behavior after a fairly recent IE update.
