Hi,

I have never used Dreamweaver and I am not using it at present, but after installing Xampp on my PC, the php files open in Dreamweaver. The pages are blank so cannot even be modified.  Is there a way I can stop these files opening in Dreamweaver?

Any advise would be appreciated.

thanks,

Dreamweaver cannot open files if it is not installed.  Be sure to check the Windows programs or Applications folder on a Mac.  You can also run the Adobe Clean Script to remove all remnants of Adobe programs on your computer.

Alternatively you can always right click on a file in Windows or on a Mac and choose the associated program and change all files.  By default those files will open in a text editor unless an HTML editor is around.
