can not view the source

[MJ]

HI,
I have a problem viewing the source code in IE 6.0. (all
of the updates has been appropriately loaded). This
problem started about a month ago - before that I did not
have any problems like that. There isn't any new software
loaded on my machine or something specific done in the
last month, only SP4 for Windows and Windows updates.
When I right click and I select View Source or from the
View Menu->Source, nothing happens - the notepad with the
code does not show at all. It doesn't matter which website
you are at.
Does somebody have idea what I could do? The
reinstallation of IE6 did not help.
Thanks a lot.

MJ,
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?
[or]
Close all instances of OE and IE
Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab | Delete Files button
Also select the option: "Delete all offline files"
Then click the "Clear History" button, while you're at it ......
Reset the TIF cache size to 50 mb. Click Apply\Ok
