File types recognition can be changed in dreamweaver when it comes to editing files.

In this particular example I was editing a theme file for an Interchange website, which have a .cfg extension. This is not a format that Dreamweaver knows what to do with, so I have to set this extension to open in code view by default.

Launch Dreamweaver. Under the edit menu you can find the preferences. Click on File types and there you can set in the lower section the application that you want to use to open a particular file type. Like browsers, you can set primary and secondary. This is also where you can add file extensions in the â€œopen in code viewâ€ line when editing in Dreamweaver.
