Cannot view source from IE!

[Kevin]

Hi,

I click View | Source and the notepad does not come out to show the HTML
source. I am using IE6 and it happens in Win2k and WinXP too, some work,
some does not.

Do you know what's wrong? I try to find out if there is anything I can set
in the Internet Options, but I cannot find any.

Thanks,

Kevin

This is usually fixed by emptying the Temporary Internet Files.

Also, if you have a shortcut to Notepad on your desktop rename it to Npad.

Some people have reported that Quick View Plus can cause this.

Excellent. It works after I delete the temp files. Maybe the temp
directory is full and the resource file cannot be created. But I think IE
should give out an error message. No doubt it works on those machine
sometime.

Thanks a lot.

Kevin.
