2nd SolidWorks launches when I open to explore it

Hello

 

For some time now, when I open a file from Internet Explorer, a 2nd SolidWorks opens. Where can I take action to open the file in the open SolidWorks session ?

 

It seems to me that it started with the commissioning of the EPDM on my substation, but I don't see why. It is normally unrelated.

 

Config: SolidWorks 2013 SP4.0; Windows 7; EPDM

It has a connection.

By working with EPDM, SW is connected to this manager continuously.

It therefore allows itself to open files only contained in the EPDM directory.

 

When you open a file other than by the EPDM explorer, it is considered by SW as out-of-box and it therefore opens a new SW for non-EPDM docs.

 

On the other hand, sorry but I don't know a method to open on 1 single SW.

What do you call the EPDM explorer? By SolidWorks or by Windows Explorer, then the EPDM folders?

 

Because I have the same result when opening files in EPDM as I do outside EPDM.

Hello

 

There may be a solution: 

 

In Windows Explorer:

1- you right-click on a solidWorks file

2- you choose "Open With"

3- you choose  "Choose program.... "

4- you click on "SolidWorks Launcher" and leave the box "always in use.... "
