I "nuked and paved" my computer over the weekend, and as a result had to tell Dreamweaver and Windows how to recognize KID files again.
There is a good post about it here: http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears/browse_thread/thread/68027dabaaaa96d5/808abe7255711bcd?q=dreamweaver&rnum=2#808abe7255711bcd I thought I would offer a step-by-step for you impatient ones that don't like to read (I used to be one). This is for Windows XP: Make sure Dreamweaver is closed through all of this. It would probably be ok not to, but just to be on the safe side. 1. Search for "MMDocumentTypes" and make sure you search through hidden files and folders. 2. Open up ALL instances found in a text editor (I personally only found one) 3. search for "xhtml" and replace it with "xhtml,kid" (should only be in the first 3 lines) 4. Save and close all your MMDocumentTypes files 5. Search for "Extensions.txt" and make sure you search through hidden files and folders. 6. Open up ALL instances found in a text editor (I personally only found two) 7. Add "KID" to the end of the "All Documents" line, the first one (so it looks like "...JAVA,EDML,WML,KID:All Documents" 8. Save and close all your Extensions.txt files 9. Done, Dreamweaver will now open and read all KID files, even in layout view. The above will not tell Windows that KID files are to be opened in Dreamweaver. To do that: 1. Open up "My Computer" 2. In the menu go Tools > Folder Options 3. Click on "File Types" 4. Scroll down and try to find KID 5a. If it is there click Change 6a. "Select Program From A List" and press OK 7a. Select Dreamweaver from the list of applications 5b. If it is not there click New 6b. Type in KID and press OK closing both pop-ups 7b. Browse to a KID file 8b. Right click the KID file and select "Open with" 9b. Select Dreamweaver There, you have now fully taught Windows and Dreamweaver how to deal with KID files
