Downloaded IE6.0 recently and now I get these
stupid 'bleep' sounds when new pages load. not all the
time though?? sounds like a drop of water but much
louder...how can i stop this??

Go to "Settings" and "Control Panel" and then hit the "Sounds & Multimedia"
icon. Click on the "Sounds" tab, and scroll down in the window until you get
to the "Windows Explorer" heading. There's a list of events, such as
"Complete Navigation", "Empty Recycle Bin", etc.

On the Complete Navigation and Start Navigation headings, if there is a
little speaker icon, that means there is a sound associated with it.
Highlight that heading and then hit the little right-arrow button to play
the sound.

If you want to clear that sound, all you have to do is highlight the event
you want to clear, then click on the drop-down menu that lists the sounds,
and scroll all the way to the top and click on "None."

Once you're finished clearing the sounds, click on "Apply" and then "OK".

--Note - you may get a pop-up window asking if you want to save the scheme
you were in before you change it -- you can decide if you want to save the
sound scheme - if not, just hit "NO" and go on to clear the sounds you don't
want.

Also, just a thought. Do you have a popup-blocker? I do, and whenever it
stops a popup, the tiny dot on the bottom tray lights up and I get a little
beep. If there are several popups, I get a beep for each one. Kinda gets
to the one nerve I have left at the end of the day. I had to turn my sound
off when on the Internet, which I don't need sounds for anyway.
