Template problem - Can't adjust file path in conditional comments

Question

Hi everyone,
I've used the template feature in dreamweaver to create a
site. The site contains conditional comments to feed a separate
stylesheet to internet explorer browsers. The css files are stored
in a css directory that sits in the main site directory. Some of
the web pages are located in the main site folder and others are
nested within subdirectories. Since all pages in the site need to
reference the css file located in the css directory, the file path
in the conditional comments within the template will have to be
different depending on where the subpages exist. I tried putting
the conditional comments within an editable region in the template
so I could change the file path as needed in the pages themselves
but because dreamweaver adds template comments like this:
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link href="../css/win_ie.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
...the browser isn't rendering the code.
Can someone tell me how I can get around this problem?
Appreciate any help.

Make your links root relative. Links within Conditional
comments will not
be managed by Dreamweaver ever, since it sees them as HTML
comments.
