How to change default open behavior for documents in a document library

One of my user asked me to find a way to set  the default open behavior for  documents in a document library as "Open in client application". He has many document libraries in his site.


I requested him to activate the site collection feature "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" which will change the default open behavior for all the document libraries(Documents, Form Templates, Site Pages, Style Library etc) but not for Customized Reports document library.

Once he activated that feature, the default open behavior has been set to "Open in client application".
Can anyone tell me why the site collection feature "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" did not change the default open behavior setting for Customized Reports document library?
