Open Internet Shortcut with Dreamweaver

I have a user who needs to be able to open an internet
shortcut in Dreamweaver. I set the associated program for HTML
& HTM to Dreamweaver, but the shortcut still opens in IE. There
is no enabled option to change the associated program for Internet
Shortcuts. I tried creating a shortcut like so <"C:\Program
Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX\Dreamweaver.exe"
www.mysite.com>, but while it opens Dreamweaver, it does not
open the site.
Any ideas?

An 'internet shortcut' is a URL text string. What would you
expect DW to do
with it?

Internet Shortcuts saved on Desktop open new instance of Firefox 3.6 using clean profile--how can I make it open all shortcuts using current profile?

I rely heavily on Firefox's profiling ability to assist me in my web design projects. Lately, using Firefox 3.6, I have run into some problems with how it opens Internet Shortcuts that are saved locally (i.e.- shortcuts that reside on my Desktop). When I double-click on one of these shortcuts, a new instance of Firefox 3.6 is loaded with the saved website from the shortcut, but it's also initialized a fresh profile (i.e.- my bookmarks are gone, no add-ons, etc.--it's as if it uses some sort of "hidden" clean slate to load the shortcuts).
Is there any way to force Firefox to load all shortcuts into whatever profile I'm currently using at that given moment? I think the reason this has happened to begin with is because of the fact that I did some stuff to Internet Explorer awhile back that caused some problems with the Internet Shortcut associations and it all led to this eventuality.
I'm running Windows XP Pro and have the following profiles with my Firefox versions:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3.6\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Firefox3.6
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox N\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p FirefoxN
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3\firefox.exe" -no-remote -p Firefox3
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 2\firefox.exe" --no-remote -p Firefox2
When I go into the "Folder Options / File Types" and double-click on "Internet Shortcut", I have the following within the "Advanced" settings (for the "open" action):
Action: open
Application used to perform action: rundll32.exe shdocvw.dll,OpenURL %l
"Use DDE" is checked...
"DDE Message" is blank...
"Application" is "shdocvw"...
"DDE Application Not Running" is blank...
"Topic" is "System"
Again, I think the root problem here is to do with the profiles and how they're handled when being opened with Firefox but I can't discern how to apply a fix with all this as I've obviously goobered this up a bit. I would really appreciate some professional knowledge on this and would prefer to avoid any reinstalls of anything if possible.

To save your sanity with this issue, my advice is to find a method other than desktop shortcuts to open those URL's.
1. Desktop shortcuts are going to open the Default Browser.
a. With multiple versions of Firefox installed that would be the last version that was installed when you have Firefox set as the Default Browser in Windows..
b. The Default Browser is going to use the Profile that shows a Default=1 in the profiles.ini file.
c. The Default Browser with the Default Profile isn't going to open if you have any other versions of Firefox already running, and the -no-remote command line parameter doesn't work in this situation.
2. The use of multiple Profiles and multiple versions isn't officially supported by Mozilla, and all the Bug reports that I have ever read about Requests for Enhancement have been WONTFIX'd by the developers. Basically we have to work with the limitations in Firefox and maybe improvise work arounds by ourselves. I've even seen a few threats about removing Profiles altogether in RFE Bug reports about Profiles.
I have had so many problems over the years with this Default Browser / Default Profile thing over the years that personally I find it easier to just set Opera as the Default Browser in Windows rather than have a Profile get b0rked because some other program I am using decides it wants to open the Default Browser unexpectedly. I don't use Opera for much, but it is a lot better than IE for purposes of being the Default Browser, considering the quirks I have seen with Firefox and multiple Profiles.
I have written a number of postings over at the MozillaZine Builds forum over the years about installing multiple versions of Firefox and using multiple Profiles. There's a lot of tips and comments provided by other multiple Profile users in one of those threads. Why don't you read those threads and see if it gives you some ideas or solutions I haven't thought of.

Cannot "open with" a htm file with dreamweaver :((

As the title states, I am trying to open my htm files with
dreamweaver, which should work as it worked before on another
computer. However, already when I installed dreamweaver on this
computer I got a message saying that my computer is a little
retarded, as although it's windows xp it does not have the latest
update or whatever.
But anyhow, I don't see how this has something to do with my
problem (but maybe you do?) : If I right-click on the htm file and
then click "open with", dreamweaver is not listed as a program at
all. If I click browse and search for it manually, mark it &
click "ok" it still opens the file with internet explorer.... grr
Did anyone have this problem before? Is there a way to fix
it? Please, I'm very desperate here and your help is very very
welcome!
Thanks a lot!

Internet explorer unable to open url shortcuts from networked locations

Hi Everyone
I have an issue with Internet Explorer not opening up URL shortcuts from networked locations.
The setup I have is a Windows 2008R2 Terminal Server (patched and up to date), which uses setup for folder re-direction (all folders bar app data) to redirect the data to a network share on the same server (ie, the my documents folder is redirected to \\server\users\username\my
documents).
When the user opens internet explorer and tries to open a favorite, the active tab sits there with a connecting... displayed on it, and does nothing else. Opening the URL shortcut directly from the favorites folder does the exact same thing.
However, when I login as the domain administrator account, and do the same thing, it works as it should.
There are two ways that I have found to get it working is to not redirect the favorites folder, and disabling the "Enable Protected Mode" for the Internet zone (Internet Options > Security Tab > Select Internet Zone, and uncheck the protected
mode box).
I have tried setting the network shares to be located within the local intranet zone, and I do believe that it is setting correctly since I can open an html document in the share and it shows the intranet zone in the status bar.
Does anyone know of a way of getting the favorites working when they are stored on a network share as a re-directed folder?
Many thanks,
Sam.

Hi,
Based on my test, "Enable Protected Mode" for the Internet Zone shouldn’t cause this problem. I try to move a test user’s Favorites folder to a shared folder and then try to open the Favorites shortcuts from IE, they work fine.
Could open \\server\users\username\my documents folder and directly open the shortcuts by double-click them?
If not, let’s use Process Monitor to trace the process:
Process Monitor
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
Download and run it. Click File menu, check Capture Events, double-click the shortcuts in shared folder, wait for some time, when the error occurs, uncheck Capture Events again. Exported events to Logfile.PML and upload the file to Windows Live SkyDrive
(http://www.skydrive.live.com/). If you would like other community member to analyze the report, you can paste the link here, if not, you can send the link to

Problem with opening html page in Dreamweaver

Hello,
I would like to ask the forum because I have a problem with Dreamweaver 8.
In the past when I work with my PC on Windows XP I didn't have this problem.
Now I have a new PC with Windows 7 Familial Edition Premium.
I can open he most pages I would like, .htm particuliarly but some of them like .html don't opened in Dreamweaver 8
on PC with Windows 7.
Example:
With this page: http://www.pb-veille-consulting.com/veille.html
I can open it with Dreamweaver 8 under Windows XP on my portable PC.
But I can't open it with Dreamweaver 8 under Windows 7 on my fix PC.
Where is the problem?
You could watch the code of this page and perharps give me answers from my question.
Thanks a lot.
Patrick.

It could be that Extensions.txt and MMDocumentTypes.xml do not have the full set file extensions.
The first one can be located at ~username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS6/en_us/Configuration and needs to have HTML added to line 1
The second one can be located at ~username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS6/en_us/Configuration/DocumentTypes and needs to have HTML added to line 3 so that it looks like
<documenttype id="HTML" internaltype="HTML" winfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,stm,tpl,lasso,xhtml" macfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,tpl,lasso,xhtml,ssi" file="Default.html" writebyteordermark="false" mimetype="text/html">

Could you post an example of the filter message?
This article has more information on the filters built in to Firefox: [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/ Firefox Phishing and Malware Protection].
It's possible that you also have a Firefox add-on, or external software, that is filtering what you see. However, we don't have enough information to help identify it yet. If you want to review a list of your add-ons, you can find them under: Help > Troubleshooting Information.

Inquiry about opening any file with internet explorer

Dear all,
i am opening any file with internet explorer on the client machine.but i want to open it as READ-ONLY. so is there any parameter i should add to the command.
the command i am using is :
client_host('"\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " "'||v_file_name||'"'; );
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I don't think there is a way to open a file as read only using Client_Host. But i can give you another suggestion. Change the permission of the file to readonly (may be using chmod command) before opening the file in the browser.
client_host('chmod -w '||v_file_name);Regards,
Arun

When i run firefox setup all that shows up on my pc four shortcuts that open internet explorer

I downloaded and saved firefox set up and when i ran it a window showed the extraction but then nothing happened. i searched for mozilla and found only 4 shortcuts that open internet explorer.

If your Firefox is in FullScreen '''press F11 key''' OR move your Mouse cursor to the top of the window, right-click and Remove Checkmark from '''Hide Toolbars'''
-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select '''Menu Bar''' and '''Navigation ToolBar'''
-> press '''CTRL + B''' for '''Bookmarks Sidebar'''
Check and tell if its working.

Can someone with Dreamweaver cs3 open a cs5 file?

Hi:
Work just upgraded me to DreamWeaver CS5 but I work on files that I share with another web author and they have DreamWeaver CS3. If I edit a file and save it in DreamWeaver 5, will the other author be able to open the file in DreamWeaver CS3? I have not loaded my new software at work yet because I was afraid there might be a problem. This is our work intranet so I need to be careful I don't screw the site up. We save our files with the extension .shtml.
Thanks
Jeff

Yes, provided you use DW's Check In/Check Out feature so that you don't overwrite each other's work.
There are no proprietary file formats like Microsoft Office.
HTML code is HTML code and can be read by any human being or text editor.
The only caveats are if you use emerging technologies such as HTML5. CS5 can handle that but CS3 will struggle.

How can I associate file types with Dreamweaver so they open automatically?

I've just installed Dreamweaver CS4 under Windows XP
Professional but I've an issue with which files types are
associated with Dreamweaver.
When I first ran DW CS4 the application invited me to select
which type of files to associate with Dreamweaver: .css, .js,
.xslt, php, etc. I deselected a few as I was using another editor
for those at the time. However, I would now like to associate PHP
files with Dreamweaver CS4, so that when I double-click a PHP file
in Windows Explorer it opens in Dreamweaver CS4.
How can I do this?
Is there a way to run the initial dialog box again that
invited me to select which files to associate with Dreamweaver?
Thanks in advance
Gareth

However, I would
> now like to associate PHP files with Dreamweaver CS4, so

Browse to any PHP file with Windows Explorer, right click
then select Open
With..., Choose Program and select DW CS4 (and tick the
"Always..." box to
make this the default file association)

Open URL with Dreamweaver

I'm a webdeveloper who works with tons of different pages each day. Many of these are sent as URLs by others in the organization, via email, etc.
To increase efficiency, I'd like to use our testing environment to automatically open URLs with Dreamweaver. So, basically, open a URL in the test environment (test.example.com/testing123.html), then have a link on the page to open that exact page with Dreamweaver.
Question is....does anyone know a way to open a specific file with a specific desktop application from the browser??

In Firefox, you can click file and Save Page As, then save the page as an HTML file. Under Tools>Options or Firefox>Preferences (Mac) you can go to the Applications tab and add HTML as a file type and select DW as the default app to open them.
Personally, I'd caution against that because it messes up things that you really should be using Firefox or IE to open. (CHMs or application help files for example).

I can not open some internet sites with my ipad

since i download new apple software 7.2 i can not open some internet sites with my ipad! it lets me open only english sites nothing else...

Try a soft reboot and see if that helps.
1. Press and hold power + home button until screen goes off and apple logo appears.
2. Once the apple logo appears release both buttons and let the phone reboot.
This helps clear temporary files. I assume you've tried deleting safari from multitasking?
You could always try using a different app top browse the internet.
VPN is another solution as it has helped me out before.
Hope this helps.

Opens With Dreamweaver association not working

I recently did a clean install of Windows Vista and
reinstalled my applications - including MS FrontPage and
Dreamweaver 8. I've gone through and associated the file extensions
(i.e. .asp, .aspx, .htm) with Dreamweaver, but whenever I
double-click on a file, it opens with FrontPage. The icon
associated with the file is the Dreamweaver icon and the properties
for the file states that it opens with Dreamweaver 8. I can even
right-click on the file and select "Edit with Dreamweaver 8" and it
still opens in FrontPage. Anyone have suggestions to fix
this?

Is there a "Set Default button in Vista's file association
dialog panel" ?
