Hi all Techy folks...


I have an old installation of Dreamweaver 4 resides @ C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 4\Dreamweaver.exe


I have now downloaded Dreamweaver CS6 Trial Version. resides C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\Dreamweaver.exe

Which seems to be working fine.


However in I highlight any .HTML file and use 'open with' Dramweaver it is opening in Dreamweaver 4.


If I use select program and navigate to the CS6 address.. I get an extra DW 4 icon and it opens with Dreamweaver 4


If I rename the Dreamweaver.exe from C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 4\

and then use select program and navigate to the CS6 address. no icon is created so cannot open the file.


CSS files 'open with' option opens fine with CS6. That is because .CSS file association is set to CS6.


I cannot set HTM & HLML associations to CS6 as they need to open in a Browser when clicked.


I do not want to uninstal DW4 just yet and not sure if that would solve the problem..


Any ideas Please..

I'm stuck with Dreamweaver but I have a different question:


When I upload a page, it asks if I want to upload dependent files i.e. pictures.


These go up reasonably swiftly and then invariably the upload jams on the last graphic and the connection is lost


Is it just shitty Dreamweaver or the ordure that is Virgin causing the phenomenon?

Ditch Dreamweaver and code in a text editor like Notepad++. It's easier to get into than you think, and you'd make far more efficient pages...


Failing that at a pinch I'd try uninstalling DW4, or perhaps both then reinstalling only DW6. That might hopefully clean out any file assocations.

Just spent 10 mins typing that I do use notepad++ for PHP @ C++

and the reason I need Dreamweaver as apposed to Frontpage..


Then EDF crashed. I need to type in notepad and cut and paste if typing long posts.

EDF always times out at about 8-10 mins. if I do not post message.


Really Annoying.

Hello Mr Fox, I think you'll need to enter the registry and adjust the file associations.



HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and change the (Default) from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1"


Not for the faint hearted! R/C

Thanks R/C


Yes I'm Ok around the Registry...


It was Dreamweaver and not Photoshop that was screwed but same basic path.

Not (64Bit) in my case..


All sorted out now..


Cheers again.

I know I'm repeating myself but...


Dreamweaver: When I upload a page, it asks if I want to upload dependent files i.e. pictures.


These go up reasonably swiftly and then invariably the upload jams on the last graphic and the connection is lost

Hi stevo..


Not too sure what you are actually doing.


Are you talking about FTP to web hosting when you say upload.

It could be anti-virus preventing completion of upload.


Possible a Buffer problem. Time-out ??

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
