Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

This is a rather humorous post by Yahoo on how to make the annoying clicking sound that explorer makes for every navigation event go away. I hate clicking navigation sounds. I hate whenever I upgrade to a new build of IE 7 that it resets my setting so that the clicking starts again. I don't understand how this sound provides any value to anyone.
So like everything else, I have a handy dandy registry entry to automate this process on all your machines.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.Current]@=""
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\Explorer\Navigating\.Current]@=""
Jut copy the text above into notepad, and save as "Navigation Sound Off.reg" and open the file in Explorer.
