Clicking woes

RoadToNoReturn · 17th September 2003, 06:02 PM

Does anyone know how to turn off the annoying clicking sound I hear through my speakers everytime I click a link or on the back button?

I have IE 6.0 and Windows XP home. It's hard to enjoy music and surf at the same time with that loud incessant click click click

Any help would be greatly appreciated

start->control panel->sounds and audio devices

From there, select the "sounds" tab and you're given a list of windows events for which you can associate sounds.

A ways down the list you'll find under the heading "windows explorer," an event called "start navigation."

Click on that to highlight it.

Then at the bottom of the window you have a pulldown menu labeled "sounds." Select [none] in this pulldown menu... and click OK. That should do it.

Or if you happen to own SimFarm or Sid Meier's Civilization, or download a .wav file for the theme song of Car 54, Where are You?, you can modify the above instructions to make your system even more annoying.

Moo, oink, machine gun, nuclear explosion, or some doofuses singing about Khrushchev (and other things), you'll appreciate your mere click.
