Deramweaver 6

how can I  have it open defaulted to design view

[Jon Fritz · Accepted solution]

Once you change to Design View, it should remain there when you close/reopen the program.

Try restoring your preferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver.html

...that tends to fix unusual behavior in the program

I hope you mean Creative Suite 6 and not DW 6 which is really, really ancient.
