I use \ref to refer to a subfigure and it shows like this in my text:
This thing (Figure 5(b))
Double parentheses appear! I want this style:
This thing (Figure 5b)
How to make it happen?

To suppress just the parentheses around the subfigure's (alpha-style) "number", all you have to do is issue the command
\renewcommand\thesubfigure{\alph{subfigure}} % default: "(\alph{subfigure})"
preferably in the document's preamble. However, if the resulting look of cross-references to these objects -- 2c, 5a, etc. -- is too sparse-looking for your taste, you may also want to add the following commands to insert a dot (period) between the figure-number and the subfigure-letter:
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\p@subfigure}{\thefigure.} % default: "\thefigure" (without the ".")
\makeatother
to get 2.c, 5.a, etc.

subfigure,subfig,subcaption, and probably a few others... Knowing exactly which package you use will be important for figuring out the correct method. – Mico Jul 12 '12 at 17:42
