For some reason, since I first started using SolidWorks, there has been a HUGE issue if you accidentally "click-to-open" a .PSD file by mistake from the SolidWorks "Open" window. Is there ANY work around or FIX for this issue, as I work heavily with both SolidWorks AND Adobe products.
While having SolidWorks open and trying to open and continue work on a part or assembly, if I accidentally click on a Photoshop file, sldphotoshopcon.exe pops up in task manager and my Solidworks program locks up trying to open its own saved .psd file. OH, and by the way... after I "force close" SolidWorks (so I can start using it again) when I re-open it some of my toolbars are missing and what is left is re-arranged, disorganized, and all over the place.
.. if I accidentally click on a Photoshop file
Set the Quick Filter options to show only the SOLIDWORKS type files.

After setting the toolbars the way you like, close SW properly to ensure they are saved correctly, and after re-opening SW, use the Copy Settings Wizard to save the registry settings. Then if the disorganization occurs again, simply reload the registry settings.
Thanks for the information and partial work-around Kelvin... but I will use some of the work-around, but shouldn't the sldphotoshopcon.exe (which is part of my SW installation) actually work without the hastle? (at very least to re-open and view a .psd that SW itself has "processed" and saved)

Not necessarily. SW can also "Save as" to PDF format ... would you expect SW to open PDF files? Similarly SW can "Save as" to eDrawing fomarts (.easm & .eprt) but cannot open those files within the SW program .itsellf
..does force closing sldphotoshopcon.exe (leave SW running) release SW?
It leaves SW running
Not sure what to suggest you but have you checked with your VAR (the company you bought SOLIDWORKS from)?
What kind of issue are you facing?
