Disable opening documents in office by default

Question

Is it possible to turn off completely opening word and excel documents in office? What I want is when user clicks an word document is library, sharepoint will not open it office but standard download window of browser will be displayed, and user can save file on his hard drive.

We have claims based application with sharepoint learning kit and we can't get assignments which are office documents open properly...

This involves disabling client integration. Here are a couple resources.

• Set the "Enable Client Integration" Setting
