Author Default File Extension

Hello,

I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004 Professional at work. How do I change the
default file extension from htm to html? There's a field in the preferences
box, but I can't change it. It says I can modify some XML file, but I don't see
anything in there about the default file extension.

Why would Macromedia make it so difficult to change the default file extension?

Look in the first five lines of that XML file -

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<documenttypes
xmlns:MMString="http://www.macromedia.com/schemes/data/string/">
<documenttype id="HTML" internaltype="HTML"
winfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,stm,tpl,lasso,xhtml,inc"
macfileextension="html,htm,shtml,shtm,tpl,lasso,xhtml,inc"
file="Default.html"

Note that I have already changed it so that html is the first extension
listed for both win and mac.

so the default file extension is always the first one on the list. Thanks.

I still don't know why Macromedia didn't just allow you to change it in the
prefrences panel.

Thanks again,
