Hi Pat
You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, you can check
the information below as it applies to your OS and see if it helps:
View Source Not Working in Internet Explorer (All Windows)
http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/1246/
or
Source Code Is Not Displayed When You Click Source on the View Menu in
Internet Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];306907
Line: 183. View Source Restore Notepad as Default

View Source Add or Change Editor (Line 183)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
There has also been some reports that Quick View Plus can cause this
problem.
See the below links for further information if required:-

and/or

and

Also, if you have a shortcut to Notepad on your desktop rename it to Npad.
Courtesy of Don Varnau:
First, clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content.) It's often recommended that the TIF
folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)
or .........................
Restore Source View
Backup your registry before modifying
Search the registry (Start>run..type in "regedit" without the quotes>
press OK, The search for the DWORD "noviewsource".(without the quotes)
If that exists, delete it or set it to 0.
Hope this helps

When I select View/Source to see the code used to write a web page nothing
happens. Am I doing something wrong or can only some web pages source code
be viewed.
