IE 6, 7 feature

[Guest]

Hello all,

Just wanted to see if this is:
a.) possible already
or
b.) if it can be added as a feature in IE7

In IE, when you click a link, or JavaScript changes the document.location,
it makes a "click" noise. Although I'm sure, when this was originally
dreamed up, it seemed like a good idea... it has proven to be a royal PITA.
I don't want this feature *at all*, but I'd be happy with a toggle, in the
settings, to turn this behaviour off.

It is most anoying, when you are listening to music (mp3's, ogg, etc.) on
the PC, as it unnessesarily ruins your train of thought (and there's no
volume control, in relation to the rest of the sounds)

For all Web Developers, this is really anoying, since we test all our
pages/sites/apps in other browsers first (for Web Std's), then do a final
test in IE, to see if it still works, or needs a workaround to support legacy
browsers.

Thanks.

That's strange, I don't have the "click" noise.

Open the Control Panel and get to the Sounds section. Scroll down to
Windows Explorer and change Start Navigation and Complete Navigation to
None.

I would agree to have an option in IE, but I do like the sound
It is very annoying when I use and other browser like FF or netscrape, that
when I click on a link I don't hear anything. Then I am not sure, when
nothing is happening, if I clicked on the link or not
