i have done this and have to do it every time i turn my computer back on as the sound reappears! have i got a virus or something?

me too i turn it off just like this and i still get that little click, at this point when i go into sounds to turn it off, it's already off. I'm confused.

thank you Leo, it worked for me. Guys, if not working for you, try to block popup sound too!

Thanks again Leo!
(darn stupid noise)

I'm having the same trouble as the first two posters - I follow the instructions but when I go back into the Sounds applet, after clicking Apply and OK, it has reverted back to how it was, i.e. Windows doesn't seem to save it, or something else is over-riding it. Any suggestions on how I can fix this? Thanks, Russell.

Great! This noise is really annoying when listening to online radios!! THAAAANK YOOOU!

Thank you! Hopefully this puts an end to it. Such things drove me to FireFox long ago, but occasionally I do find myself in IE and now it will at least be bearable. Notice how there are no pleasant sounds in the entire list of Windows sounds?

Thanks for the info Leo! Why on earth would we want these annoying sounds in the first place? We can already SEE WHEN WE HAVE CLICKED ON SOMETHING!

Thanks. Worked first time. Dont we just love computers.

well.i was running into the same "my sound is already off and i was still hearing the clicking noise" wall and so i went to opera prefs and i took the check off the enable program sounds and it seems to be working and ...AAAAH!!!!! [removed]!!! ....NEVER MIND
