I can no longer use the command view-source:

  • Thread starter Thread starter Guest
  • Start date Start date

I used to be able to type in the adress bar "view-source:" followed by the
website and I would be able to open the source file ( for example
view-source:http://www.microsoft.com ) But ever since I updated to IE 6 I can
no longer do this. Of course I can still click on View, and then source, but
I was wondering if the command was changed to something else, because I would
rather type in view-source: in front of the address. Thank you in advance for
your help
 
I don't have a problem viewing a source code, I just have a problem using
view-source: to get there.
 
That's covered in the link Sandi gave you...

If you have a shortcut to notepad on the desktop get rid of it or rename
it...

How do you empty IE Cache with Win xp? if cookies are in the NTSF (sp)
partition, how do I change permissions so that I can work with?
:)
Thank you!

Sandi gave me. There is nothing on the links similiar to the problem I am
having. What is occuring is that when I type view-source: in front of the web
address I get a "Cannot find server message" Here is a screenshot
