Right well i made a website on my home computer, i want to take it round to my friend without having to load it up to the internet, so basically is there a way you can change the root folder so i can put it on a usb?
thanks in advanced

if your website is html with some javascript, then it should be no problem to put is on a usb stick or other storage device. Also, make sure your links are relative and not absolute: i.e. index.html vs www.mywebsite.com/index.html

if your links are absolute you can make them realtive by using find replace.

Good luck.

im sorry that im being really stupid, i only have 1 page to the website so far (the homepage) and when i put it on, and go and view it on another pc the images and flash animation doesnt come up, i saved all the images and the flash movie in the same folder. Any idea how to make them load?

Its just like Javier says- if your paths are relative- it should be O. If its not I suspect your paths are absolute.
Absoulute means for example say you have the html file as C:\www\index.html and the images/flash in C:\www\imagesthe paths in your webpage are absolute if they point to C:\www\images\*.* as opposed to just saying images\*.* which is relative.

Save your paths as relative to your homepage and it should be OK.
One thing to watch though flash might be a bit funny withthe code dw drops in now to allow th enew tags- <object> so you may need to copy the scripts folder that DW created over as a relative path too.
