Source Edit in IE7, 8

[ranger]

Hi,

I had IE 7.0 installed on my PC and I couldn't edit the source file of any html or htm file.
The problem was that whenever I opened the source with notepad (for example of an "index.html" file),
the source was opened in a file called "index[1].txt" instead of "index.txt".
Since the editing I did was actually made in this wierd file, the result was never reflected in the "index.html",
which stayed the same forever!
So, I couldn't edit any html page.

Now I installed IE 8 beta and changed the default editor back to notepad, only to see that it's the same ****.
It opens the source in "index[1].txt" and I can't make any modification in my page because I can't open the "index.txt" file.

Has anybody came across the same bug...?
Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanx.

That's not a bug. You're not supposed to be able to view any web page's source, change it's markup and then save it. Even if it's your own site. Even if you're viewing it locally. You should open up the original HTML file in the text editor and then change it.
