If you work with Dreamweaver 8 for Windows and have noticed that your FTP login settings in the Dreamweaver site definitions are lost when you close and re-open the program or after you reboot your computer. If you have an earlier version of Dreamweaver, you may not encounter this problem.<\/p>\n

According to Adobe, there are two known causes for this.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The most common cause is that Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) is installed on the same machine as Dreamweaver 8.<\/li>\n
  2. A less likely cause is that the following registry key is missing or is empty:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\<\/code>
    \n Explorer\\User Shell Folders\\AppData<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If You Have IE7 Installed on Your Computer
    \n<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you have IE 7 installed then installing the Dreamweaver 8.0.2 Updater<\/a> should resolve your problem in most cases. Make sure that you verify the installation of the updater. In Dreamweaver, go to Help > About Dreamweaver > and click the scrolling text to reveal the version number. It should say Dreamweaver 8.0.2. You should not have to reboot the computer after installing Dreamweaver 8.0.2 Updater.<\/p>\n

    If You Don’t Have IE7 Installed, or if the Dreamweaver 8.0.2 Updater Doesn’t Solve the Problem <\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you don’t have IE7 and are experiencing the problem then install the Dreamweaver 8.0.2 Updater<\/a> as described above and then perform the following steps.<\/p>\n

    Warning:<\/strong> Modify the registry at your own risk.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Launch the Registry Editor by clicking the Start button, choose Run, then type “regedit”. In the Registry Editor, navigate to this folder:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\
      \nExplorer\\User Shell Folders\\
      \n<\/code><\/li>\n
    2. See if there is a key called AppData<\/code>, as shown in the screen shot below:
      \n      \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
    3. Backup the Users Shell Folders registry branch as follows:\n
        \n
      1. Right-click the Users Shell Folders folder and select “Export”.<\/li>\n
      2. In the “Export range” section, choose “Selected branch”.<\/li>\n
      3. Save the .reg file to the desktop.<\/li>\n
      4. If problems occur after editing the registry, double-clicking the .reg file will re-install that registry branch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      5. If the AppData<\/code> key is missing, then perform the following steps. If the AppData<\/code> key exists, then skip to Step 5.\n
          \n
        1. On the right side of the Registry Editor explorer pane, right-click in a blank area anywhere under the last key in the list. You should get a context menu that says “New” with a flyout menu.<\/li>\n
        2. In the flyout menu, select “Expandable String Value” and name the new key AppData<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
        3. Right-click the new AppData key (or the existing one if it was already there), select Modify, and enter the following in the Value Data field: %USERPROFILE%\\Application Data<\/code>. If the values for the other keys in your User Shell Folders directory don’t start with %USERPROFILE%<\/code>, then use the value that your other keys use. For example, if your Local Settings key has a value of u:\\Local Settings<\/code>, then try usingu:\\Application Data<\/code>.<\/li>\n
        4. Open Dreamweaver, re-enter the FTP login information for one of your sites, and see if the FTP login is now saved when you close and re-open Dreamweaver.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
