The Windows Explorer click sounds can certainly be enough to drive the average person insane after a while, especially if you work late at night like we do. Why the configuration option to turn them off would not be more obvious, we’re not sure. We can only assume there are some insane engineers at Microsoft.
To open up the sounds configuration panel quickly, just type in mmsys.cpl into the start menu search box, and hit enter. You could also go to the Sounds and Audio devices in Control Panel.
Click the Sounds tab and then browse down in the list to “Start Navigation”
You’ll see that the dropdown box has “Windows Navigation Start.wav” selected. Change this to (None) at the top of the list.
Hit OK and your annoyance is over with.
