I'm aware that you can switch off caching in Windows, but I'd rather keep it
on, as some of my images are simply too large for that feature to be turned off.

Its not a big deal, but I'd rather scrub them off my dreamweaver uploads...

I could make hidden files viewable and always make sure that I wipe all .DBs
before uploads - but is there another option?

My website is picture intensive (photo gallery) and those files add up
quick....

Thanks!

What about using DreamWeavers "cloaking" feature. In the settings tell it to cloak everything with the .db extension. Would that work?

"Cloacking lets you exclude specified folders and files from all site
operations."

I didn't notice that in older MM Dreamweaver version - that should fix it
though!

I'll give it a try. Right now I have bigger problems on my plate: my includes
don't work and trying to ini_set the include_path doesn't work on my host... It
worked great on my XAMPP WinXP server...

This belongs in a new thread though...

Thanks for pointing out that cloaking feature!

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/path/to/file.php";
