View Source not working

[i l l u s e d]

hi, i once attempted to change my view source program to araneae (a
html-specific text editor) using tweak ui but it didn't work so i changed it
back to notepad. Now, whenever i try to view source it opens notepad with a
blank file. whats with this and how can i fix it? Edit still works but is
unavailable on some pages, like php and server-generated pages, i think.

Clear the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and delete
offline content.) It's often recommended that the Temporary Internet Files
(folder) be kept at
40-50 MB. Bigger isn't necessarily better.

If you have a shortcut on your Desktop named Notepad, rename it MyNotePad.

I had the same problem, but have no idea what caused it. I did a search for all occurances of "notepad" and came up with two 65K versions in the c:\windows and c:\program files\internet explorer\connection wizard. There was a third file in c:\windows\system32, but it was only 3K. I opened it with an editor and found an "MZ" file identifier (which means nothing to me). But, renaming this file to "Xnotepad.exe" made the HTML code suddenly reappear when I click on View Source. I have no idea how it got there.

Do you have a shortcut on your Desktop name Notepad, is so, rename it
MyNotepad.
