How do I Access the Welcome Page Without Restarting

In general, I would rather bypass the Welcome screen and get straight to work so my preference is set accordingly. But now and then I would like to access the Welcome screen to maybe open a template or recent file. How do I do this without setting the preference and then restarting DW?

    Correct answer B i r n o u

    This home screen is always present in Dreamweaver, unless you have a document open, in which case it is hidden.


    So, if you want to create a new document and your home screen is hidden, when you use File > New, or (Ctrl | Cmd) + N, the dialog box will allow you to easily access either a new type of document, or a document from a template...


    but you can also use the menu File > Open a recent document, and thus pick in the last documents you worked on, in order to clone them.


    but maybe I misunderstood your question?

    This is my setting

    When I leave a document open when exiting Dreamweaver, it will bypass the welcome screen and go straight to that document.

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

      Thanks - I have been using the same settings myself but wanted to know how to step back, so to speak, to see the templates. But now I see they are offered on the File\New dialog (per Birnou).

          Thanks - I hadn't noticed the the File\New dialog offered the templates.
