Customizing Dreamweaver in a multiuser environment

You can customize Dreamweaver in a multiuser operating system such as Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Windows XP,
or Mac OS® X. Dreamweaver prevents any user's customized configuration from affecting any other user's
customized configuration. To accomplish this goal, the first time you run Dreamweaver in a multiuser operating
system that it recognizes, Dreamweaver copies various configuration files into a user Configuration folder for you.
When you customize Dreamweaver by using dialog boxes and panels, the application modifies your user Configu-
ration files instead of modifying the Dreamweaver Configuration files. To customize Dreamweaver by editing a
configuration file in a multiuser environment, edit the appropriate user Configuration file, rather than editing the
files in the Dreamweaver Configuration folder. To make a change that affects most users, you can edit a
Dreamweaver Configuration file, but users who already have corresponding user Configuration files do not see the
change. In general, if you want to make a change that affects all the users, it's best to create an extension and install
it using the Extension Manager.
Note: In older operating systems (Windows 98, Windows ME, and Mac OS 9.x), a single set of Dreamweaver
Configuration files is shared by all users, even if the operating system is configured to support multiple users.
The location of the user's Configuration folder depends on the user's platform.
Windows 2000 and Windows XP platforms use the following location:
hard disk:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
Note: In Windows XP, this folder may be inside a hidden folder.
Mac OS X platforms use the following location:
hard disk:Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/Configuration
Note: To install extensions that all users can use in a multiuser operating system, you must be logged in as Administrator
(Windows) or root (Mac OS X).
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
