We have a corporate internal portal with lot of subsite and document library for various department/BU.

When a user tries to open a excel file from a document library it opens in Excel client from my machine. But for some of the users they automatically redirected to the _layouts/XLViewer.aspx where the file tries to open in Browser. The requirement is to open the file in excel client instead of XLViewer.aspx.

How to I isolate this problem and fix this issue.

Please follow the steps outlined here. This will be applicable through out the farm and all files will be downloaded on the client system instead of opening them in the browser.
