What is the Internet Explorer setting that allows me to "view source" when
looking at web pages? I use this function quite often when updating my
websites, as it allows me access to the html code for the pages I need to
edit, and it's quicker than finding my archived files. Normally when I
select "view source" it opens the html code in Notepad. However, something
got changed a few weeks ago on my home PC and now it will not open Notepad
when I select "View Source." Maybe I inadvertently changed a setting, but
don't know which one it is. Help menu was no help, I thought I'd ask here.

XP Home, IE version 6.0.

Don't know how to set that either, but a (hopefully acceptable) alternative
is to go:

Tools, Options, Programs and select Notepad.exe as the Default Html Editor.
Then look at the source using File, "Edit with Notepad.exe" instead of View
Source.

btw, consider using Firefox - it has more tools for web developers built
into it.

you could download TweakUI for XP

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe

and set the View Source to something else, and back to Notepad.exe again if
you want.

I'm assuming that Notepad.exe does exist and isn't damaged on your system.

Hmm, looks like that works. I don't know what i did to turn off View Source.
My updates usually are just text updates, and I find it very simple to
change the text in the html code using a word processor...been doing it like
that for years anyway.

Thanks Dave!
