Every time I click Internet Explorer and a new window opens, I get an annoying audible click.  This really became apparent when random pictures were added to this homepage.  Each time the pictures changed I heard that click.  I've also been annoyed when going through forums on different topics with the same click-click-click annoyance, so I searched and found out how (on a Yahoo information page) to kill that click, and here it is:

1. From the “Start” pop-up menu on your desktop, select your computer’s“Control Panel.”
2. From this list, pick “Sounds and Audio Devices” (for Windows XP) or “Sounds and Multimedia Properties” (for Windows 2000). A dialog window opens.
3. From the tabs across the top, pick “Sounds.”
4. Scroll down and you’ll find a category called “Windows Explorer.” The last item under this heading is “Start Navigation.” Click this to highlight it.
5. In the box just below this, called “Sounds,” open the pop-up menu and scroll to the top to choose (None).
6. Click the “OK” button to close the dialog window.

Enjoy your peace and quiet while browsing!
