After playing around with this it seems to work really well. In fact, I'm
even able to get the Excel export to open in Excel with a full toolbar. I
feel so much better now. Here is the resolution email. Play around with the
different checkboxes to get different results. This email is from the guy
that wrote the XI toolbar export functionality!

It sounds like the exporting is done through the viewer toolbar in a webform
viewer. The behavior is generic for IE and depends on whether user has
disabled the confirmation dialog, and whether the file is sent as
attachment. We send exported files inline, not as attachment, when
exporting through the viewer. You can change this behavior by adjusting the
user setting as below.
1. Open an Explorer window.
2. Select Tools | Folder Options (assuming Windows XP).
3. Select File Types tab.
4. Find the appropriate file type, click Advanced button.
5. Ensure "Confirm open after download" is checked.
There is a new method on ReportDocument.ExportToHttpResponse for developers
to control whether the exported file is sent as attachment.
I suspect the toolbar problem is because we turned off the IE menu in that
export window. There is no way to turn the menu on at this time.
