When I was upgrading my computer a couple of weeks back to a dual processer machine at work, I had to reinstall all of my programs.

As a result, I needed to reinstall Dreamweaver, and needed a way to get all of the existing client sites I had set up out of the old computer. Now, if you open your files palette in DW, and go to your file menus > site > manage sites you have the option of exporting each site individually as native site file information “.ste”

That really sounded like a lot of work, so we looked, and found a plug in that solved all of our problems. To export all of your sites at once into one neat nice file, as well as other things such as shortcuts and even serial numbers, use MM Exporter.

This third party plugin is easy to use. Make sure if you are installing a newer version of DW on a computer, that you only have one installed at once. And before you uninstall anything, that you export your sites using this program. It will only recognize one version of DW to import your site definitions into, and won’t give you an option to find the program you want to import into, instead finding the programs itself.
