Internet Explorer 8 includes a built-in option to change the default view source editor. The setting is provided in the Developer Tools.

1. Open Internet Explorer

2. Press the F12 button to start the Developer Tools

3. From the File menu, click Customize Internet Explorer View Source

4. Select one of the following options:

* Default Viewer
* Notepad
* Other…

If you choose Other…, you’ll be prompted to select the executable file of your preferred text editor. Use this option to set your third-party text editing program (e.g. Notepad+) to set as the default source editor.

With an older version of IE i was able to go to >View>Source... And edit the actual code in the text editor that came up. Now i can't do that with IE 8. Is there a setting i can change to fix this?

My advice: Download firefox and get the addon "FireBug". Allows you to edit HTML in browser, and you can "Inspect Elements" to find the bit of HTML you need to edit.
