Does anyone know how to get SolidWorks to stop interrupting other programs??

It just freaking did it while I was trying to write this.

I go to open an assembly, and it takes a long time to open.  So I go to do some email or read the news and then it pops up once the file is reloaded and blocks whatever I'm doing.

I know Dassault is French, and therefore perhaps leans to the rude side of decorum, but is there any way to tame this horrible behavior?
