Why is it doing this?

Why is it doing this?

Why is it doing this?

(OP)
What I open an assembly within Solidworks, all is well, but when I open the same assembly (well, any assembly really) from within Windows by double-clicking the file directly, Solidworks tries to open-up almost every SW file that I have on my hard drive.

Any idea why?

Paul.

RE: Why is it doing this?

it shouldn't do that. try running a Modify or a repair on your system and see if that fixes it... if not then you might consider the clean uninstall and reinstall... See FAQ on that process here.

RE: Why is it doing this?

I would guess that when starting SW that way it also opens the last project you had in memory when you last closed it or it crashed? I just tried it and that's what happened to me.
