Internet Explorer 6 - Windows XP Service Pack 2

Disable Sounds on Blocked Pop-ups

SUMMARY: Prevent Internet Explorer 6 with Windows XP Service Pack 2 from annoying you with sounds every time pop-ups are blocked.
 
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.
