There isn't actually a way to disable it.

What exactly happens when you try to view the source of a website? Try
clearing your cache and trying again.

Tools / Internet Options / Click "Delete Files" and "Clear History"

If save still works then you can save the page (File menu of IE) and
then use notepad to open the file you saved.

Some sites try to disable save and-or view source in IE.

If you use any offline browser to grab the page (including mine) it
will save the page anyway. Kybie saves pages it in a subdirectory of
it's main cache directory (defaults to C:\Kcache\) the subdirectory
will have same name as domain (e.g. C:\Kcache\google.groups.com\)

Honestly, its just an issue with his temporary internet files. Delete
those, and he'll be happily source viewing again. Its a common IE 6 glitch.

I agree that will fix the problem and it often is necessary - fixes
other problems too (esp java chat clients). The issue however is with
IE and that you need to clear the cache is a bug in IE (IMHO).

It means that IE will need to fetch every page that you visit again
even if you visited it recently and on a slow dial-up that's sometimes
not what you want.

Therefore useful to know some alternatives.

Like using Opera or Mozilla The OP should ditch that IE crapola.

I used to use Netscape 3 and then Opera way back when new
functionality was being added to HTML, scripts etc. so fast that
unless you used a new-ish version half the sites on the web didn't
work.

I gave up and switched to IE when Opera moved to a new version and
effectively abandoned the version I was using which
a. meant I had to pay them again if I didn't want ads on my screen
b. meant I had to spend more time learning where everything was, how
it works, since they changed so much even down to menu letters which I
tend to use automatically after a while and hate spending energy
re-learning.
c. at the time worked on fewer sites than IE worked with.

These policies - problems are all MS standard of course, which IMHO
doesn't make them justifiable. If Opera et al didn't copy them I might
still be a customer of theirs.
IE6 is moderately stable with win 2000 and I suspect 'll be able to
stick with that for quite a while, why on earth would I want to learn
a new set of bugs.

PS still using Excel 4 for the same reason - copyright 1992! - still
does all I need to do.
