Hi,

I have noticed that if I call up a website I can no longer right click and
select "view source"
Right click option on desk top stilloperate OK

I have searched through servies console etc, and can find no hep.

If its relevant I cleaned up the system with System Mechanic and a few days
later noticed that java seemed to have gone!
I downloaded and installed.

Any idea why I cannot use the right click in IE6 browser would be
appreciated.

I think that went away in the newer versions of IE. You
will have to selece 'view' 'source' from the taskbar.
 
Hi,

There is a "source" in the "view" taskbar dropdown menu......that dont work
either!

Just as an after thought onthis...
I tried "updating" IE 6.... a pop up advised that a "newer version of IE
was installed.."
I cannot have a newer version than that installed by SP2 and updated by
windows.....

Hi,
If it's only "View Source" that's not working:

First, clear the IE cache. IE> Tools> Internet Options> General> Delete
files (and delete offline content when that dialog pops up) It's often
recommended that the TIF folder be kept at about 50 MB (Settings.)

If you have a shortcut to Notepad.exe on the desktop, rename it.

It's been reported that Quick View Plus can cause this. The fix for that is
at http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/774/

Additional information at

and

If you have *no* right-click options in IE, post back to this thread. That's
a different problem.

Hi Don,

Thanks for that info...will set about following it and let you have the
outcome..
As an aside, the right click - view source works with web pages on my
machine which are called into the browser..but not with online pages.

Hi Don,

carried out your suggestion ..did a re-start ..but no joy still no active
"view source" on web pages viewed on IE6.
All the right click menu options show and are active.
I tried to update IE^ bit it wont update saying I have a "newer version"
that seems illogical. I have looked through the registry settings....but
cannot see ( or understand) anything un-usual.
I have also looked through > control panel - > admin tools - > services
....but cannot see anything relevant.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
I had thought of doing a system restore...but it causes havoc with email and
registrations etc,.

Hi Art,
Well, I'll confess to having no more ideas, especially if nothing from
http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers2.htm#view_source or
http://www.colba.net/~hlebo49/iescrcod.htm worked. The sites where you can't
view source aren't secure (https) sites are they?

Does System Mechanic have an undo function? Does it maybe backup things
before deleting them?

This might help:
