Hello Everyone: I was wondering what the Icon on the IE and next to the "Print" icon is used for, when holding the mouse over it, it says "Edit With NotePad" See attachment for what it looks like. Any how when I click on it, I get all this jibberish here>>>(is it ok, to delete this mess)?>>>

That is the Code in which the webpage was done. You use the edit if you want to probably edit your own version of the page and save it to your Hard drive. HTML pages will work fine like that, don't recommend trying to do anything with JS, PHP, ASP, etc.

In other words if you don't code there is no real use for it.

:) Learning doesn't hurt, if you have spare time. This is also the same as right clicking on the window and selecting View Source
