    Gay--Googling produced the following

    The one that seemed simplest was to repair IE (yes, I know you said this occurred in Windows Explorer). Control Panel|Add/Remove|click on (highlight)Microsoft Internet Explorer|Remove. Do not panic, IE will not be removed. You should be offered several choices. One is Repair Internet Explorer. Click on it.
    If that does not help, there are other suggestions in the Google references above.

    See the discussion on "View as Web Page" about 70% of the way down. Among other things, it tells you how to deactivate "View as Web Page ".
