Strange IE

[Colin Bearfield]

I opened two of my web sites on different hosts. I clicked
view/source and nothing happened. It used to show me the HTML source
code. I then clicked on any web site at random and this time the
source code came up just as usual.

It isn't serious because I can still edit the code on my PC and upload
it, but why should it suddenly happen?

"View source" doesn't work

Change and/or Add an HTML Editor (Line 132)

I don't remember who suggested this, but..... If you have a shortcut to
Notepad.exe on your desktop, delete it. For some reason it can interfere
with the the View Source in IE if your HTML Editor is Notepad. I have no
earthly idea why.

Look for NoViewSource set to 1 in these two keys. If set to 1, change it to
0 (zero)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Restrictions

NoViewSource
0 = disable restriction
1 = enable restriction
