The clicking sound that Windows plays when you click on a link in Internet Explorer or open a folder in Windows Explorer can drive you insane.“ Here’s how to kill that sound in Windows XP:
- Click Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices
- Click the Sounds tab
- Scroll down the list under Program Events.“ Under the Windows Explorer section, highlight Start Navigation.
- Under the Sounds box, select (None) > OK, close Control Panel
Here’s how to nuke the sound in Windows Vista:
- Click Start > Control Panel > Sound
- Click the Sounds tab
- Scroll down the list under Program. Under the Windows Explorer section, highlight Start Navigation.
- Under the Sounds box, select (None) > OK, close Control Panel
Peace and quite is now restored.“ I, however think that whoever decided that opening a link, or a folder needed it’s own sound should be beaten with a bag full of “Made for Windows” stickers.
