Disabling the Clicking Sound in Internet Explorer
Some people get really irritated with the constant clicking noise that Internet Explorer makes when navigating through web pages by clicking links. If you want to turn this clicking noise off, it's pretty easy to do.

Thank god.. I just got windows for my mac and that was driving me crazy!!! Thank you, thank you. Windows should make this issue easier to fix..
Yes, Thanks for posting this. I have to attend an online class (java chat) that has IE constantly refreshing and making that clicking sound.
You are my hero... That clicking noise has been annoying me for ages.
THANK YOU! I just built the amd spider platform and for the life of me CANNOT get the Start Navigation sound to stop going off every 10 seconds.. drove me crazy!!!!!!!!!! I friggin love the forums of the world!
you are my hero!! THankyou
I got this crazy clicking all the time, even when I turned off the sound! What I finally did was delete a file named "Windows Navigation Start.wav" and I haven't heard the sound since, nor has it appeared to have any negative affect on my system.
I was lying in bed wondering what that noise could be?! It was a page on auto-refresh every 5 minutes!! LMAO! Thank you!
Thank You !!!!!!
How incomprehensible that Gates made billions off such an annoying software system!

Thank you so much!! That was sooooo annoying!!
If that doesn't work:
Delete-
Windows Navigation Start.wav
Windows XP Start.wav
xpstart.wav
Thank you sooo much! OMG, it seems like forever I was hearing that tic, tic, tic, tic, tic! You are awesome! Thanks again!
Bless you!
At last - thank you!!!!!
This has been bothering me for at least two years, which is why I switched to Firefox. Gates, what in g-d's name were you thinking?
