How To: Fix Windows Vista Help (Dreamweaver 8)

Applies to: Dreamweaver 8 and Windows Vista (possibly other xml editors / versions of Dreamweaver).
A short while after installing Vista I discovered the operating system help section was broken. I was getting the following message:

Internet Explorer cannot download / from windows.

I assumed this was due to me being an early adopter and a Microsoft would release a fix through Windows Update.

How To: Backup and Restore Photoshop CS2 Settings and Workspaces

Fairly regularly, it seems recently, I have had to backup and restore my settings for Adobe Photoshop CS2. This isn’t the most straightforward process but is relatively painless if you know where to look. This process can be followed for most of Adobe’s apps but in this example we will backup and restore Photoshop CS2.

This ‘how to’ applies to Vista/XP.

Backup

  1. Exit Photoshop CS2.
  2. Ensure that you can see hidden files and folders.
    • XP/Vista: From ‘folder options’ and the ‘View’ tab, select the radio button ‘Show hidden files and folders’.
