The sample files included with Dreamweaver contain assets for the sample 
website you'll build using these Getting Started with Dreamweaver tutorials. 
The first step in creating the site is to copy the sample files from the 
Dreamweaver application folder to an appropriate folder on your hard 
disk.
1.
Create a new folder called local_sites on your hard disk.
For example, create a folder called local_sites in either of the following 
two locations:
I
In Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\My 
Documents\local_sites
I
On the Macintosh: Macintosh HD/Users/your_user_name/
Documents/local_sites
NO
On the Macintosh, there's a folder called Sites already in your user folder. 
TE
Don't use that Sites folder as your local folder; the Sites folder is where 
you place your pages to make them publicly accessible when you're using 
the Macintosh as a web server.
2.
Locate the cafe_townsend folder in the Dreamweaver application folder 
on your hard disk.
If you installed Dreamweaver to its default location, the path to the 
folder is as follows:
I
In Windows: C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 
8\Tutorial_assets\cafe_townsend\.
I
On the Macintosh: Macintosh HD/Applications/Macromedia 
Dreamweaver 8/Tutorial_assets/cafe_townsend.
ABOUT.
About local and remote  root  folders  The local  root  folder of your Dreamweaver site is often the 
main or top level folder for your website. It usually corresponds to an identical folder on the remote site 
..
(web server). The root folder also usually defines the first part of your website's URL, following the 
domain name. For example, if your local root folder is called mywebsite, and you have an identical root 
folder defined on the remote site, the URL for your website would be something like http://
www.yahoo.com/mywebsite.
In some cases, the local root folder may not have an exact name equivalent on the remote site. For 
example, if you own the domain name www.mywebsite.com, with a remote root directory of public_html, 
your local root folder could still be called mywebsite. The files in both the local and remote root directories 
would be identical; only the folder names (public_html on the remote site, and mywebsite on the local 
computer) would be different.
