Unable to find file [any file].htm in the Configuration/Floaters directory (CS6) [Solved]

Question

This is more of an answer than a question. I had been having this problem all of a sudden, and none of the solutios I'd found on Adobe or anywhere else were working. SO sicne the easy route wasn't working, I looked at it myself.
A key lead came from an answer on Adobe Forum in that the problem exists in the last configuration you were using (e.g., Desginer, Coding, Dual Screen, etc). The issue is that one of the XML entires lists an item that DW doesn't like, so you need to delete that entry and everything is great.
Close Dreamweaver.
On the PC, look in C:\Users\[your name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\en_US\Configuration\Workspace for a file with the name of [your configuration].xml, and open it with a text editor.
Look for "id=[your configuration]"
Delete the <panelframe></panelframe> that contantains that id in the previous step.
Save and close the file.
Open Dreamwweaver.
In my case the problem was com.html and my Workspace Configuration was Dual Screen. So I edited "Dual Screen.xml" and deleted the <panelframe></panelframe> that contained id="com" saved it, and started Dreamweaver without the error.
My only question is that since this is a not uncommon error, why the #$%^&* isn't Adobe support able to provide this info? Or, better yet, since their start-up process can find the spcific error, why aren't they capable of simply deleting that Panelframe data as a restult of the error and taking care of it that way?
Anyway, good luck with this!
