The view-source protocol no longer works in Internet Explorer 7


It can be the back-door for the any malitious program to run when user wanna view source of the web page, just by changing registry. here is how can we change the view source application in IE6

Check the following

1. Run REGEDIT

2. Go to following registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Internet Explorer > View Source Editor > Editor Name (Default) = C:\windows\notepad.exe

3. if 'View Source Editor' doesn't exist then create new registry of name 'View Source Editor' and in that create 'Editor Name' entry and give value to 'C:\windows\notepad.exe'

4. You can change the .exe name by directing to path of your .exe to run.

any ways, but if malitious program is replacing your notepad.exe then who is gonna help? ;P

Now, in IE7 this door is closed! think so...
