gunshot sounds in Internet Explorer

[terrimundt]

I have somehow acquired these sounds, only in Internet
Explorer, that I just can't get rid of. They sound like a
gunshot and they fire whenever I change websites or even
files. Help!

Check Control Panel | Sounds | Sounds and see if there is anything listed
there that is useful.

Popup stopper installed?
Play a sound when a pop-up window is prevented

Assuming you want to remove them, you may find that you
have a Windows theme active which does have sounds for
things like open, minimise and maximise.
Go to Control Panel -> Desktop Themes and disable the
sounds you do not want.

I have the same problem with a water drop sound. Started after installing XPSP2.
I cannot find any spyware applications on my machine either.

Sigh, my problem was PestPatrol's Cookie Patrol. It apparently makes a water drop sound whenever a cookie is created. I've disabled it
