Windows Tips - Internet Explorer - mredkj.com

Windows Tips - Internet Explorer - mredkj.com: "If there is a shortcut to Notepad on the desktop, delete or rename it to something other than Notepad.
JR wrote how to reproduce the problem, then solve it:
Open IE, go to any page, view source, works fine.
Now go to Start menu and navigate to 'Programs\Accessories', and right-click
on Notepad, drag it to the desktop, selecting 'Copy Here' when you let go.
You should now have a shortcut file named 'Notepad' on your desktop.
Go back to IE, view source, and nothing happens.
Go back to desktop and delete or rename the Notepad shortcut.
Go back to IE, view source, and it works again"
