I have MSIE 6.0.2 on XP service pack 1 and for some reason when I ask to
'view source' on a web page I'm visiting nothing happens. However, view
source works fine for any web page that was saved to my hard drive. Is
this a security setting? Or, is something goofed up...THANKS!

This is a known bug in all versions of IE. The resolution is to:
1) Delete all temporary internet files.
2) Set your temporary internet files folder max size to LESS than 80 MB.
3) Rename any shortcut on your desktop named 'Notepad'.
4) Make sure notepad.exe is the program registered to view HTML files in IE.

post...argh...
