Isn't this an essential part of the "Windows Experience"? I gave a friend a linux box that ran without problems for over year. His friends kids used to come over and play Unreal Tournament on it. The thing just worked. Then one day he decided that he needed to be "compatible with the latest software" and went out bought a Windows box. He's suffered from one problem or another ever since. Kids are now not allowed near the new computer. (It's simply too fragile for that.) And he's always complaining about how slow the system is and is constantly being pestered to update this or that. I keep telling him that what is happening is the REAL "Windows Experience" not the one in the marketing hype. The "Windows Paradigm" has no respect for your time, money or your sanity. Why Microsoft "Cool-Aide drinkers" still slurp this crap down is beyond me. I thought Windows users enjoyed being tortured? Isn’t this an essential part of the “Windows Experience”?

I clicked on the Settings in the bar and disabled the souns. Now I can hear my music while browsing the net safely :) I found out that what makes the clicking sound at my PC was the Google bar in internet explorer which was making the sound when blocking a popup.

You can open up the registry editor, find the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\ and delete the values of .current and .default for each of the actions. As ever, take care when editing the Windows registry directly as you can potentially seriously damage your computer. I think I found an alternative workaround to this bug in Windows XP.
