Configuration
Configuration
The first time you run Dreamweaver, it copies only some of the configuration files into your
user Configuration folder. (The files that it copies are specified in the version.xml file in the
Configuration folder.) When you customize Dreamweaver from within the application (for
example, when you modify one of the predesigned code snippets in the Snippets panel),
Dreamweaver copies the relevant files into your user Configuration folder. The version of a
file in your user Configuration folder always takes precedence over the version in the
Dreamweaver Configuration folder. To customize a configuration file that Dreamweaver has
not copied into your user Configuration folder, first copy the file from the Dreamweaver
Configuration folder to the corresponding location inside your user Configuration folder.
Then edit the copy in your user Configuration folder.

Deleting configuration files in a multiuser environment
When working in a multiuser operating system, if you do something within Dreamweaver
that would delete a configuration file (for example, deleting a predesigned snippet from the
Snippets panel), Dreamweaver creates a file in your user Configuration folder called
mm_deleted_files.xml. When a file is listed in mm_deleted_files.xml, Dreamweaver behaves
as if that file doesn’t exist.

To deactivate a configuration file:
1.
Quit Dreamweaver.

Using a text editor, edit mm_deleted_files.xml in your user Configuration folder; add an
item tag to that file, giving the path (relative to the Dreamweaver Configuration folder) of
the configuration file to deactivate.
