Change the default program that opens the xml.

Start Menu -> Run -> type Explorer
T[U]ools -> Folder [u]Options
File Types (tab)
type in 'xml', and it should show Dreamweaver as being the default.
[U]C[U]hange
Select IE.
Make sure the "[U]A[U]lways use the selected program to open this kind of file" is checked.
Click ok.
