How to stop the clicking sound when you click on a link in IE

  • Artículo

By default, IE makes a clickety sound when you follow a link. It can get annoying after a while. Here's how you turn it off:

1. Open the control panl
2. Open the “Sounds and audio devices properties” applet
3. On the Sounds tab, scroll down to Windows Explorer | Start Navigation
4. On the Sounds drop-down, select None and OK out of the dialog

    In an irresistable Slashdot moment, I can't help but observe that this month's most popular way to avoid the annoying clicking sound in IE is to switch to Firefox. Have you tried it yet?

    Will: Nope, I've been meaning to but haven't gotten around to it. I'm actually fine with IE right now. I tried MyIE2 for a while but didn't like it.

    Steve: Ditto (and the reason I posted this is that I'm setting up a new machine). It's funny you mention it, actually, because I also started a note today to eventually blog what-all I do on a clean machine, what's my must-have software, etc. I'm right there with you on the known extensions thing, that brings me back to my explore.zip worm days.

    Thank you...

    I've looked there but can never seem to find the right event. (I'm always looking for something IE related and skip over everything else...).

    KC,

    I haven't tried My2IE, but I use Avant Browser (www.avantbrowser.com), another shell for IE.

    I love it, as long as you turn off all the extra button except Close and Restore
