Disable/Enable Click Sound in Internet Explorer (IE) for Windows XP/Server 2003/Vista

If you want to disable the click sound in Internet Explorer found in Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Vista, then follow these steps:

  1. Open the Start Menu / Settings / Control Panel
  2. Double click on the “Sounds” control panel. In this control panel, Scroll down in the events window until you reach “Windows Explorer” and under this you will find “Start Navigation“.
  3. Click on “Start Navigation” and you will see a .wav file appear in the “Name:” box. This is the sound that is associated with the click sound.
  4. In the “Name:” drop down menu, select (None) and then hit “OK“. This will set no sound to be played when you’re navigating on the web.

Keep in mind that this will remove the click sound from hitting buttons and links on all web sites you visit until you set it back. This is a safe change to make and does not affect any other functionality of your Windows Explorer browser.
