Second time i've had to use this - I made the mistake of not having windows update off since i got the computer and it reverted the sound choice!

I find windows sounds infuriating – especially when I am recording something and want to navigate the computer.

I have tried turning them off, but Windows XP – ‘works the way you want it to’ – doesn’t believe that I really want sound off and turns them back on again!

My foolproof way is to go to Windows/media folder (you may have to unhide the contents) where you will find all those annoying sounds that have been bothering you. Delete the lot! If you are a bit wimpy, then create a new folder in ‘media’ and move all the sound files into it. In either case – the result is blessed silence and Windows cannot reinstate the damn things.

Yes this does work, but I am using Vista (unfortunately for me) and the process is just a little bit different but once you know the sound to change is "start navigation" then you can locate it.

I'm a little confused here, because the remedy given here is not effective, and yet the administrator just seems to have dropped off. If I remember this site, and I may not.. I will provide the correct remedy when I have it. Thank you.

Thanks! That has been irritating me for a long time, especially since that is supposed to be the sound Google Taskbar makes when it blocks a popup. I kept thinking... is something being blocked now?

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!

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?

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.
