This is really good.

Changing the Default Template for a New ColdFusion Page in Dreamweaver MX!
I'm a huge CF newbie so this may be far too obvious for the veterans out there. But this little trick made my life a little easier (and my code a little better because it included comments!).
If you have looked at any Dreamweaver books, you'll almost always see that the code examples have a pretty standard set of comments at the top of every file. These usually include the Author, File Name, Description and Date. It would be nice if these were inserted for you automatically each time you create a new CFM file. Now you can do just that! It's easy.
Hope this helped at least one person!

- Open Dreamweaver MX (DWMX).
- Click on "File" > "Open"
- Then browse to the location of your DWMX installation and find the New Documents folder. Select the Default.cfm file and open it in DWMX. A typical path to this file might be: C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX\Configuration\DocumentTypes\NewDocuments\Default.cfm
- At the very top of this file, add a set of empty comments. For example:
- Save the file and you are done.
