Can not open 'Source' web page from 'View' menu

[Jefrrey W.]

Clicking 'Source' from the 'View' drop-down menu should
open the HTML Web page with those tags shown. One of my
PC (XP Home Edition) can not open the HTML page from the
IE browser. Why? Security setting?

Thanks in advance.

Jefrrey,
There may be several reasons .........

1) If a shortcut exists on the Desktop for Notepad, rename it.
2) Some users have reported Quick View Plus to be the culprit?

Close all instances of OE and IE
