This one has bothered me for years. Honestly I only have myself to blame for not doing something about it sooner. Like they say, its never too late and hence this post. If you’ve found yourself pulling out your hair every time you click a hyperlink in Internet Explorer, here’s how to be follicle friendly and turn that sound off.

1. Navigate to Control Panel > Sounds
2. Click the ‘Sounds’ tab
3. Scroll down until you reach the ‘Windows Explorer’ section and within it, search for the ‘Start Navigation’ entry
4. Set the ‘Sounds’ dropdown to ‘None’
5. Click Ok
