IE6 - View Source

[Tony Batchelor]

Sometime in the last week, the View Source function has
ceased to work. That is, when I click on that in both the
Menu or right click on the page, Notepad does not open
with a text file.

I have tried using SFC and also Scan Disc, and nothing
changes.

Any ideas? (It still works on Netscape!)

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.
