It doesn’t work with Windows XP SP 3. The OS simply restores the default sound… So… DELETE the stupid wav and live a long happy life :p

What the hell was in the “minds” of the Windows engineers or programmers when they defaulted ‘on’ that stupid, useless, annoying, user-distracting click sound? Are they sadists, masochists or just plain damned fools? Probably all of the above.

I don’t know if someone mentioned this before, but my computer won’t stop doing it. I go to sounds and go down to Internet Explorer and all that, select Start Navigation and None for Sounds, but it WILL NOT APPLY IT. I hit OK and go back to the browser, but it’s still making the clicking sound, and I go back into Sounds so see what’s up and the sound is selected again. It’s like I never changed it. I’ve checked to see what happens if I leave the window open and just hit apply, then while it’s deselected and supposedly applied, I go to the browser and click a link. But it still makes the sound. I’ve also tried selecting None as the sound scheme, but same thing – it still makes sounds and when I open up the Sounds window again, it has gone back to the default, like I never changed it. Gah, I have a migraine.

OKAY, I didnt want to get rid of the sound at all because it didnt bother me when I clicked on things, “BUT” I must either have a TROJAN HORSE that is making it click randomly “or” the Internet Explorer is downloading COOKIES and making that clicking noise.. What is annoying tho is that I hear it click randomly about 5 times every 20 seconds without touching the mouse…SO, whatever problem is going on, whatever problem is making it do the clicking noise, will still be there, I just wont be able to hear it….SO, either do a virus search or stop a cookies(this works, but cannot visit many sites without alowing cookies)

I actually enjoy the clicking sound. It feels empty and awkward without hearing. like I’m just barely hovering over the internet instead of actually being inmmersed in it. Maybe it’s because I never listen to music or anything while I browse.

Thank you! You have no idea (or perhaps you do!) just how big and nasty a headache you have delivered me from. One can only take so much motrin, after all, without blowing a kidney.

Gratitude, dude. Gratitude.

Thanks! Why does IE do that anyway? It just goes to show how out of touch the company is.

thank you! i love fire fox but if i ever have to use ie i cannot stand that clicking sound. sometimes you wonder how hard microsoft works on this crap they put out. i am a windows guy but if we ever had a pc that used open source that worked as good as firefox, i would never use microsoft again.

ok, just for keep it updated, I had the same problem with the “clicking” sound, even with the iexplorer closed. So I turned off the sound for that action, but …there might be a reason for that. So, I tried hijack this, but it discovered nothing. Finally I tried the latest Malicious removal tool from MS (July 09) and it found a trojan downloader: win32/renos.FJ and then removed it. So, since that, the annoying clicking sound its gone.
