CNN.com i have treid all the advice here on the newsgroups about going into
control panel -- sounds.. and have gone thru all of them and none match the
sound. I am desparate to shut this sound off..... whats annoying is it just
stated and i dont knwo why!! any help would truly be appreciated!!
 
Hi,

I am not too sure which version of IE you are using but try this link below:

Or,

By default, when Internet Explorer 6 blocks a pop-up window, it plays a
sound to let you know the web browser stopped the pop-up from appearing.
While some people like this feature in that it lets them know how many
windows were blocked, others may find this sound annoying. To disable this
sound:

1. From Internet Explorer 6, Click "Tools".
2. Select "Pop-Up Blocker".
3. Select "Pop-up Blocker Settings".
4. When the "Pop-up Blocker Settings" dialog box appears, uncheck "Play a
sound when a pop-up is blocked".
5. Press "Close" to close the dialog box.


Hopefully, this will help.

Cheers
