I run Win XP and use IE 6 and cannot view the source code of web pages. I have read some comments on this site about designating notepad as the html editor and have done this but to no success.

Could anyone help please?

Secondly how do I set up my techrepublic account so it emails me when a reply comes in?

Thanks
Bruce

Source Code Is Not Displayed When You Click Source on the View Menu in Internet Explorer 306907

This behavior may occur if there are too many files in the Temporary Internet Files folder or if Notepad.exe is missing or damaged.
To resolve this issue, delete all of the files in the Temporary Internet Files folder.

To do this, follow these steps:
Start Internet Explorer.
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
Under Temporary Internet files, click DeleteFiles.
When the confirmation message appears, click OK two times.

If a shortcut exists on the Desktop for Notepad, rename it.

Look for TweakUI here:

Thanks Doug - however I keep the temp files folder empty as I'm just extra tidy and so only a few files in the foler. Any other ideas?

On the very bottom of the form you used to create your question there is a check box you need to tick off so that you will be notified of answers by e-mail.

I got a blank page viewing the source code of this Tech Republic Web page but was able to view the source code while in Yahoo.com (right click on page, select view source). Am using WORD as the HTML editor.

Hi Everyone - Have tried all your suggestions but nothing has worked. Maybe there's a security setting or some setting in the Tools / Internet Options that needs changing (but can't see it myself).
