Programmatically mute postback or keypress sound (clicking sound)

[pink2070]

Is there a way to programmatically quiet the click sound that is made when a webpage does a postback. (ie whenever a user clicks the submit button you will here a quiet click sound).

Our clients have other applications that are sound automated as well so this sound has become a problem, especially since our application uses a setTimeout function that fires a postback every 2 seconds (So you could imagine what this sounds like).

Currently I know how to manually go into windows and set the clicking sound to nothing (Which stops the clicking sound):

*control panel
*sounds and audio device properties
*Go to the topic for (window explorer) and set ths start navigation.wav to none

But I need for this to be done programmatically. If anyone knows how to do this programmatically, or has an idea of how to do this programmatically please respond.

If you have a great recommendation on a resourceful site that can help with this please leave a url. Thank you very much.

Thanks again,

Pink

It can probably be done through the Windows scripting host, which runs VBScript files. But it sounds like the environment is one with "knowledge workers" who just run apps, and don't know the OS (and have their access to the OS locked down). In that environment, it's likely that a .vbs file won't run. If they are using systems-management server, they ought to be able to turn the sounds off.

Or just tell the users to turn their speakers off.
