Hi mike
You don't mention the version of Windows you are using so I can only guess
at a suggestion. Try the following and see if it helps:
Clearing Sounds:
Go to "Settings" and "Control Panel" and then hit the "Sounds & Multimedia"
icon. Click on the "Sounds" tab, and scroll down in the window until you get
to the "Windows Explorer" heading. There's a list of events, such as
"Complete Navigation", "Empty Recycle Bin", etc.
On the Complete Navigation and Start Navigation headings, if there is a
little speaker icon, that means there is a sound associated with it.
Highlight that heading and then hit the little right-arrow button to play
the sound.
If you want to clear that sound, all you have to do is highlight the event
you want to clear, then click on the drop-down menu that lists the sounds,
and scroll all the way to the top and click on "None."
Once you're finished clearing the sounds, click on "Apply" and then "OK".
--Note - you may get a pop-up window asking if you want to save the scheme
you were in before you change it -- you can decide if you want to save the
sound scheme - if not, just hit "NO" and go on to clear the sounds you don't
want.
or..
Start>Control panel>Sound, speech, and audio devices>Change sound scheme
Select "Windows Default" from the drop down menu under Sound Scheme
Click Apply>Ok
Hope this helps.
