    For Status bar icons you list TRAYICONS 1/0, but in my copy of AutocAD 2009 this sysvar toggles the display of tray icons only (these are the warning icons, such as TrustedDWG).

    There is a separate system variable for toggles the status and drawing bars: statusbar 0/1/2/3.

    You are, Sir, entirely correct. Thank you for pointing that out. I have updated the table. I have ignored the drawing status bar for simplicity (and because I think it’s pointless).
