First open any folder and go to Tools>Folder Options. We want to change the Folder Options to view hidden files. Because normally these files are not shown to the user.

So go ahead and change the Folder Options to view hidden files, that is Folder Options>View>Show hidden files and folders.

Now go to this folder C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration Change the USER with your own login name, it can be Administrator or any other custom name that you login to your PC. You can also go to C:\Documents and Settings\ to select your own username from the displayed usernames.

Once you are in this folder, just copy everything and back it up to your External Hard Disk or CD.

Next time when you re-install Dreameaver, you just have to copy all your backup files and replace the files that reside in C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration. And your Dreamweaver will be back to your previous setting, with all the extensions and components in place just as you wanted. I hope this tutorial was a useful one, please let me know if you have any questions.
