i need it to open in solidworks, but i don't want the SW be inside IE

here is the answer:

  1. Start Windows Explorer (Start, Run, Explorer).
  2. From the Tools menu, select Folder Options.
  3. Select the File Types tab.
  4. Select the file type that you don't want to open in IE and click Advanced.
  5. Clear the "Browse in same window" check box and click OK.
  6. Close the Folder Options dialog box.

That file type will now open within the application instead of IE.
