    Hi All
    I’m trying to view the HTML Source on any web page, but when I click
    View / Source, Notepad will not open for me. Yes I do have Notepad set as my HTML editor.

    Any Ideas on how to fix this?

    It doesn`t matter what program is set as HTML editor thats used for when you click EDIT on a web page. Try entering IE Options and restoring the defaults.

    Clear out your cache.

    Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files.

    If your cache is too big (or too full), view source just stops working.

    If that doesn't work, there are some other fixes on that page. One should work! :)

    Hope this helps!

    - Dave.
