The sound Windows makes when web browsing

[SanDiegoPC]

In XP, you could shut this off under the SOUNDS panel in the control panel. There was an option that said "Begin Navigation" so you could shut off the click from the speakers when you go to a website.

In Windows 7 and MSIE8, I do not see that option. It's not under the TOOLS menu in the Internet Exploder, and it's not inthe system Control Panel.

Where is it?

With IE open, go into your sound profile on the bottom right (the icon). I beleive there you can mute IE sounds.

Control Panel -> Sound -> Sounds Tab

Start Navigation -> Change to None

Control Panel -> Sound -> Sounds Tab

Start Navigation -> Change to None

That's the one I said was for XP. It is not there in this OS.

I'm using Windows 7, changing that setting works for me.

Just type "Sound" into the Start menu search box. It will list the control panel applet for changing your sound settings.

Yup. I see it too, in Win7. Setting it to "none" makes the IE8 navigation sound go away.

My panel has no 'start navigation' option. That's the problem.

Using Win7 Pro? My sound panel does not have the option for 'start navigation' like XP used to have.

Win7 Ultimate here. But I opened up a Win7 Home Premium virtual machine and see the same "Start Navigation" option, which is set to "Windows Navigation Start" by default.

Maybe it's something to do with your particular sound card? Mine is a built-in Realtek on my "real" PC and the built-in "Microsoft Virtual Machine Auido Device Driver" on my virtual PC.

I'm using win7 pro this worked for me- control panel-hardware and sounds- under sounds choose "change system sounds". under the sounds tab scroll down to windows explorer, the start navigation is there change it to none, click apply-ok.
