Hi Michael,
Read this, from Mike Burgess, MVP:
If a shortcut exists on the Desktop for Notepad, rename it.
[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 50mb. Click Apply\Ok

Make *sure* Notepad.exe exists and is NOT a 3rd party replacement.
In some cases a Registry entry may prevent "View | Source" from working.
Start - Run (type) "regedit" (no quotes)
Click Edit (up top) select: Find (type) "NoViewSource" (no quotes),
Click "Find Now" *if* located, highlight the entry "NoViewSource" in the right pane
Right-click and select: Modify, change the value from "1" to "0" (no quotes)
Press F3 to continue searching until completed, repeat as needed.

Open Regedit to the following location:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm
"PerceivedType"="text"
@="htmlfile"
"Content Type"="text/html"
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm\OpenWithList
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm\OpenWithList\notepad.exe
If the above key doesn't exist, create it.
The below Registry key does NOT normally exist,
Tweak UI (XP) or some other app may have added the key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\View Source Editor]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\View Source Editor\Editor Name]
@="C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe"

I am unable to View Source code in Internet Explorer 6
for Windows XP. I have done what it says in the knowledge
base and deleted items from Temporary Internet Files, but
am still unable to view the code.
Thank you for your time and help.
