Hi,

Since DW updated to the latest version it now default to Design mode most the time instead of Code like I had it in the previous version.

How can I change it back so by default regardless of the file it goes to Code view, as I can't remember what I changed at the time?

Regards,

Garry

    1. Open a file. 
    2. Switch to Code view.
    3. Close the file.
    4. Re-open the file.
    5. Does it not open in Code View?

    If DW does not remember the last view, Restore Preferences.

    Unusual behavior in Dreamweaver? Try restoring preferences.

    Another way is to use custom workspaces in Dreamweaver How to customize the Dreamweaver workspace
