In Dreamweaver, there is one root directory for each website you have. As you trashed everything, I guess you have to make a new site from the Site menu. If you are not able to open that dialogue, you may want to trash the preference file too, and not just the folder.
I don't remember if the dialogue is just as obscure in Dreamweaver 4 as in MX that I am using, but when I make a new site, there are two tabs at the top, one basic and one advanced. I had to look for a long time to find the advanced tab too ;-) In the advanced tab, you can easily choose where you have your local root folder for your site, and Dreamweaver should import it without any problems. Hope it helps, else contact me off-list to share screen dumps if necessary. Cheers, Kim On 10/08/03 5:30, "Terry & Claire Hart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm on an iMac 400 DV.
