How to Remove Clicking Sound In Internet Explorer

This is one of those things which I cannot believe I tolerated when I used Internet explorer. The annoying clicking sounds IE makes every single time you click on a link. Here’s how you turn it off.

Disable the Clicking Sound in Internet Explorer

  1. Go to Control Panel list, pick Sounds and Audio Devices (for Windows XP)
  2. From the tabs across the top, pick Sounds.
  3. Scroll down and you’ll find a category called Windows Explorer. The last item under this heading is Start Navigation. Click this to highlight it.
  4. In the box just below this, called Sounds, open the pop-up menu and scroll to the top to choose (None).
  5. Click the OK button to close the dialog window – and you’re done!

…but then again – why are you using Internet Explorer ? You should be on Firefox ! and Also Get Vista Aero Mouse Cursor Pointers for XP.

Note: This also removes the clicking sound you hear when you open folders.
