How do I turn off the clicking sound Internet Explorer makes whenever I click a link?

Question

I'm using IE6 (not bold enough to "upgrade" to IE7 yet), and I'm tired of the clicking/clunking sound it makes each time I click on a hyperlink. It drives me batty. Is there a way to make that sound stop? (Aside from muting my sound entirely, of course.) Thank you in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Those clicks you are hearing are indicator sounds Internet Explorer provides to tell you each time a server is being contacted for something, and you can turn them off.

1. Click Start on your desktop and select Control Panel.

2. From this list, pick Sounds and Audio Devices (for Windows XP) or Sounds and Multimedia Properties (for Windows 2000). A dialog window opens.

3. From the tabs across the top, select Sounds.

4. Scroll down and you will find a category called Windows Explorer. The last item under this heading is Start Navigation. Click this to highlight it.

5. In the box just below this, called Sounds, open the pop-up menu and scroll to the top and choose (None).

6. Click the OK button to close the dialog window.

Answer 2

just go to Internet properties and then go to "privacy" and you will see in the bottom the pup blocker is on just turn it off
