i didn't have such problems.
but have you tried putting in the W2k SP1 and IE5.5 SP1?

Contrary to hype , 5.5 is still buggy and add the 2000 bugs , well . Contact tech support at MS and have them help work you through it , they will add it to their data base and later it become part of a fix , good for everyone. But before you do this run a Antivirus Deep Scan just in case as this is strange behavior , also go into the config sys area and select tools , then try repair IE, knock out the little things to eleminate then before going to the more complex. Good Luck

Thank you for the advice i mace contact with microsoft,and they said uninstall IE5.5 and install IE5.0,which is totally unacceptible!.In the meantime i have figured it out myself and the following seem?s to work
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\View Source Editor\Editor Name]
@="\"C:\\Winnt\\notepad.exe\""
save as vsource.reg and double click.
