Dreamweaver CS5.5 crash on edit

Question

I have been working through a book learning to set up a MySQL database. I set up my computer as a testing server using XAMPP. Things were going well for quite a while. Now a serious problem is emerged.
Every time I try to edit a file for any site in Dreamweaver CS5.5, as soon as I try delete something selected or even type a character, Dreamweaver crashes. Over and over. The error message is
Access to Macintosh HD:Applications:XAMPP:xamppfiles:htdocs:temp.html was denied.
Now I have tried to be careful about changing permissions, and don't believe that I intentionally did this.

It's possible.
Since both machines were affected (I assume they are accessing the same files), and neither machine seems to have responded to the cache/personal config fix, it could be the old 8K bug...
From outside DW, check if you have any files that are 8192 bytes (8Kb). If you do, open and modify them in a text editor. Add a long winded html comment for example. Something that will change the file size and save. Then try to start DW.
If you don't have any 8K files, have you done anything else to both installations of DW, like add a new extension?
Restoring Preferences may be the next step...
