Can I change the viewer for unmanaged reports?

I know the workaround of including init=actx in the URL for unmanaged reports, but I'd rather not force this change on another project just because mine uses CE9. There must be a way to change the default viewer from DHTML to Active X. Anybody have that key?

Thanks!
 
Hi,
If they are unmanaged, then CE's services ( the web component and pageserver at least, which I believe are the only services involved in running unmanaged reports) know very little or nothing about them, including what viewer to use..
( AFAIK, this is not related to the version of CE being used)

If they were being accessed thru ePortfolio instead, then you could change the default viewer used.

Yes, the Guest account can be changed to use Active X. And I guess that the WCS is the key component. It is a part of CE, is it not? It's just not a part of ePortfolio, and the unmanaged viewer seems to fall outside the scope of the SDK. But somewhere else, perhaps, the viewer for unmanaged reports might be changed?
