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 ??

    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?  
    • I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
