Is there a way to disable Excel Web Access (_layouts/xlviewer.aspx) completely on a Site Collection? (SP2010 Enterprise)
I have enabled the "Open in Client Applications" feature and it works fine in Internet Explorer and Firefox if a 32-Bit Excel is installed. But on Machines that use Chrome or 64-Bit Excel, SharePoint still tries to use the Excel Web Access (supposedly because it cannot detect Excel?)
So I would like those clients just to download the File (similar to Send To - Download a copy) when they click on it.
I do want to keep Excel Services enabled as the Web Parts are useful, just the Excel Web Access is undesirable)
Any suggestions?
