Configuration/Shared/Common/Scripts folder structure
For more information about the Shared folder, see "The Shared folder" on page 364.
Multiuser Configuration folders
For the multiuser operating systems of Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Macintosh OS X, Dreamweaver creates a
separate Configuration folder for each user in addition to the Dreamweaver Configuration folder. Any time Dream-
weaver or a JavaScript extension writes to the Configuration folder, Dreamweaver automatically writes to the user
Configuration folder instead. This practice lets each Dreamweaver user customize configuration settings without
disturbing the configuration settings of other users. For more information, see "Customizing Dreamweaver in a
multiuser environment" on page 12 and "File Access and Multiuser Configuration API" in the Dreamweaver API
Reference.
Running scripts at startup or shutdown
If you place a command file in the Configuration/Startup folder, the command runs as Dreamweaver starts up.
Startup commands load before the menus.xml file, before the files in the ThirdPartyTags folder, and before any other
commands, objects, behaviors, inspectors, floating panels, or translators. You can use startup commands to modify
the menus.xml file or other extension files. You can also show warnings, prompt the user for information, or call the
function. However, from within the Startup folder, you cannot call a command that
dreamweaver.runCommand()
expects a valid Document Object Model (DOM). For information about the Dreamweaver DOM, see "The Dream-
weaver Document Object Model" on page 90.
Similarly, if you place a command file in the Configuration/Shutdown folder, the command runs as Dreamweaver
shuts down. From the shutdown commands, you can call function, show warnings,
dreamweaver.runCommand()
or prompt the user for information, but you cannot stop the shutdown process.
For more information about commands, see "Commands" on page 126. For more information about the
dream-
function, see the Dreamweaver API Reference.
