My .php files where fine untill I installed Dreamweaver. Before, my .php files
were set to open with IE. The icon for the .php files was the IE icon, and when
I opened them, I saw the result of the coding (what you'd see on the actual
website), not the codes. Now, I see a Notepad icon for all of my .php files,
but the still open with IE. Except, it doesn't display the webpage, it shows me
the coding. How can I completely unassociate .php files with Dreamweaver, or
fix this?

Thanks...

Opening a PHP file with the browser will not result in the PHP code being
executed UNLESS you fetch the files via your webserver. In other words,
browsing to this will not work -

c:/whatever.php

but browsing to this, will work -

http://localhost/whatever.php

(I have oversimplified for clarity - obviously there is alot more involved
here)

Is that what you mean you are doing? It sounds like you are just double
clicking on the icon - and unless you have done something that you are not
telling us, that will not work - at least it won't execute any of the PHP
scripting.

Anyhow, you can change the file associations in Windows easily. Google
"change file associations in windows" and you will get more answers than you
care to read.
