This is usually fixed by emptying the Temporary Internet Files.

Also, if you have a shortcut to Notepad on your desktop rename it to Npad.

Some people have reported that Quick View Plus can cause this.

After having the same problem, I searched this group and
found some big help. I had a shortcut to Notepad (with
the name "Notepad") on my desktop. Changing the name of
the shortcut fixed the IE View Source problem.
 
I did a search for all occurances of "notepad" and came up with two 65K versions in the c:\windows and c:\program files\internet explorer\connection wizard. There was a third file in c:\windows\system32, but it was only 3K. I opened it with an editor and found an "MZ" file identifier (which means nothing to me). But, renaming this file to "Xnotepad.exe" made the HTML code suddenly reappear when I click on View Source. I have no idea how it got there.
