Before installing the Citrix Online plug-in, File Type Associations for certain types of locally installed applications such as Microsoft Office are directed to launch the content files using the locally installed applications.

HKCUSoftwareCitrixPNAgent FavorLocalApps = 0 (REG_DWORD)
This solution is valid only for Receiver versions 3.x or earlier.
