.NET Solidworks interface issue

Hello everyone.

I am creating a standalone app and I'm using

Dim swApp As ISldWorks = TryCast(GetObject("", PROG_ID), ISldWorks)

to connect to Solidworks.

My issue is when I open Solidworks normally I get this for my sidebar. The blue sphere will allow me to use the file browser tab to access our vault.

When I use the standalone I get this for my sidebar, which has the normal File Browser icon.

Is there anyway to force the connection to the vault so I get the first icon?

Thanks.
