DW 2017 forgetting FTP info

This sounds like an ancient bug but I still get this error since Dreamweaver was updated to cc 2017 (Windows 10/64). There is no IE7 installed and the registry changes as was suggested in an earlier question did not help.
Some sites forget the inserted credentials after Dreamweaver is restarted. During the session Dreamweaver remembers the site settings for ftp.

If this is happening with some site definitions and not others, they might be corrupted.  Create a new site definition and delete the old one.

Sounds like a permissions problem.  Does your user account have have full admin rights to read & write to files on your hard drive?

Hi,
Thanks for the answer,

I wrote "Some sites forget the inserted credentials after Dreamweaver is restarted. During the session Dreamweaver remembers the site settings for ftp."

It is strange that it works with most of my sites but some can't keep the entered values, so I think it is not a permission problem.

Thanks Preran,

Yes I tried this. As I mentioned it only happens with some sites, others are OK, so this is the kind of errors which don't behave in a predictable way.
