Not able to view source in IE 6

[sid_b6505]

When I click on view>source, I get a blank notepad window in return.
This happens with every Internet Explorer window.
Can any one tell me the solution plz? I have Windows XP and IE 6.

Check ur default HTML editor under internet options.

This is what i've been waiting for...
This is one of the major bugs in IE. Dude...check out that there IS an empty folder on tour desktop called "NOTEPAD". It will be hidden or even visible. Delete it. Then u can view the source.

hi...
there is no empty notepad document.
still can not view the source....
is there any registry problem?

help me!!

[sUlPhUr|nE`]

I am 100% sure that there is an empty NOTEPAD folder(Not a notepad Document) on your desktop. Go to Tools>folder Options> Unhide Protected System Files and Folders.
then you'll find a folder on your desktop..
Me really sure dude....

[abhishekkulkarni]

Why don't you just reinstall IE .

[sUlPhUr|nE`]

Theres no need of it dude...Thats what I'm telling.
i'm 1000000% sure that there is an empty NOTEPAD "FOLDER". It cud also be with the System Attribute, so, ven if you tey to unhide hidden files you wont be able to c the folder until you unhide even the system files & folders.

[sid_b6505]

No text file is opening in notepad.
But these files can be opened from the open option in notepad.

[sUlPhUr|nE`]

Dude..
on your desktop, there is a FOLDER called notepad, NOT DOCUMENT. Delete the FOLDER CALLED NOTEPAD. There is no file or a document.
PHEW

Just change your default HTML Editor settings in TOOLS/INTERNET OPTIONS/PROGRAMS.

It may also be a bug

[sUlPhUr|nE`]

Phew.....this is a bug...... nothing else..it is also not a virus....just take out the notepad folder & the job is done.
