"open file dialogue box" is maximized-HATE IT-can I get rid of it
(OP)
When I go to open a drawing, I hit the "open file" button which brings me to the open file dialogue box, but it maximizes this box, taking up the whole monitor screen. even if sw is in restore mode, and not maximized. please help me make it normal again

If you can't get to a corner of the box, try changing the screen resolution to a higher setting.
If that doesn't work, try resetting the SolidWorks registry.

Maximization in Windows has always pissed me off. It's a lot harder to work in multiple windows if each is maximized.

The only thing I havent tried is corblimey's suggestion of resetting the registry. Can you give me a little more insight on that trick?

Go to Start > Run > type regedit > OK > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software ... rename SolidWorks (any name will do), and then close the registry.
NOTE: Restarting SW will rebuild the registry key to a newly installed state, so all customization will be lost. If this works, customise SW to your liking and make sure to save (export) the SolidWorks registry setting for next time something goes awry.
The renamed SolidWorks registry key can be deleted once SW is running smooth again.

Always overlook the obvious.
