For some reason, my View Source function for IE 6.0 doesn't seem to want to work correctly, although I'm not sure how long this has been happening for. The problem is this: There are three ways to view the source of a webpage, right? (View --> Source, Right-Click --> View Source, and click on the View Source button in the IE toolbar) Well, for some reason, sometimes on any random webpage, I cannot seem to view the source (sometimes I can, sometimes I can't). For example, I tried this on Google, and what I got was this: View --> Source and Right-Click --> View Source does NOTHING, meaning that it does absolutely nothing (no program opens up, no error messages, etc. But when clicking on the button, Notepad opens up with a bunch of foreign characters (that my Windows can't decode). Basically, all three options to view the source of a webpage come up with different results (although View --> Source might do the same thing as Right-Click --> View Source). Anyways.. this is very frustrating, and I hope that someone has had some previous problems with this and has now got some insight on this problem, or someone who can try and help me out here

Nevermind, solved.

Hi i have the same problem. mind telling us how you solved it?

The problem is quite easily solved: Microsoft - in its great wisdom about what users really want and need - chose to have some interesting defaults for Explorer that prevent it from working properly after a while. As diskspace is "cheap" and Micro$oft seems to want you to buy more, the default of IE saves "temporary internet files" for every web page you ever visited - and doesn't delete it until you tell it to! Not only does this rack up quite some space after a while, also the View Source command stops working. Solution: In your internet options of Explorer first delete all temporary internet files, then change your settings to use only 20 megs of diskspace to store such data (that is PLENTY and should be the default), no matter how large your drive is. And finally you could (optional) go to advanced settings and under security check the box next to "empty temp files on exit". Problem solved! Magically, your View Sorce command works again as advertised! I hope this solves your problem, if not please ask again. JensO
