stop that annoying click sound

Windows by default plays a "click" sound every time you click on a folder in Windows Explorer, or a link in Internet Explorer. It's superfluous and annoying, given the mouse already clicks for you. To turn it off in Windows XP:

Click on the Start button
Mouse over Settings and select Control Panel, then open Sounds and Audio Devices
Click on the Sounds tab
Under Program events, scroll down to Start Navigation
Under Sounds at the bottom of the dialog, change the drop down box to (None).
Click OK

To turn it off in Vista:

Click the Windows button, and click Control Panel
If you're using the default view, click the green Hardware and Sound link, then under the Sound category, click the Change system sounds link.
If you're using Classic View, just double click the Sounds icon.
Click the Sounds tab
Under Program, scroll down to Start Navigation
Under Sounds at the bottom of the dialog, change the drop down box to (None)
Click OK
