I listen to alot of MP3 music while I surf the web. Is there any way to mute the sounds coming fi IE6 while not affecting the sounds from my MP3 player (Winamp). Thanks.

Sounds on web pages or sounds when you click on navigation buttons?

That was my first thought. It didn't work. I also uncecked play animations, and play videos. They didn't work either.

Check registry @
my computer\hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\internet explorer\advancedoptions\multimedia\sounds.

should show (among others):

(Defult): (value not set)
CheckedValue: yes
DefultValue: yes
Text: Play sounds in web pages
Type: checkbox
UncheckedValue: no
ValueName: Play_Background_Sounds.
