[content-type:text/html]
editor =3D <path to dreamweaver>

[content-type:text/*]
editor =3D <path to general text editor>

[content-type:image/*]

Yes, but the general editor setting overrides the os setting. Try omittin=
g the=20
general editor setting entirely and just put dreamweaver under the text/h=
tml=20
content type and DTML meta types (assuming you want to use dreamweaver to=

edit dtml):

[content-type:text/html]
extension =3D .html
editor =3D <path to dreamweaver>

[meta-type:DTML Method]
extension =3D .html
editor =3D <path to dreamweaver>

[meta-type:DTML Document]
extension =3D .html
editor =3D <path to dreamweaver>

If your other editors are already configured through Windows, then you=20
probably don't need to add anything else to your config file.
