Cannot View Source

[Cory]

I am no longer able to view the source code of webpages
using the right-click>>"view source" or edit>>view source
options.

I have checked the FAQs regarding the subject, but none of
the suggested fixes seem to work.

I have made sure that Notepad is working properly, and set
as my default html editor. I have repeatedly emptied my
temporary internet files folder. I have done everything
else that the FAQs suggest, but none of it works.

I am using winXP.

If anyone knows how I might solve this problem, please
reply to jingomcharrison AT hotmail DOT com

Thank you.

Cory,
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

My wife had the same problem and was cleared up by
removing the temporary internet files.
