Have you ever noticed that when you click a link in Internet Explorer, there is a distinct “clicking” sound that plays through your speakers? As if the actual click of the mouse button wasn’t realistic enough! If you’ve never heard that sound, you should consider yourself lucky, because by default, it is always activated. At first, it’s unnoticeable, but as you become more experienced with surfing the Web and you begin to follow links to your favorite Web sites, you will start to hear it more frequently. Luckily, there is an easy way to turn this sound effect off. Let's see how!

First, you need to find the Control Panel. In Windows XP, the Control Panel can be located right from the Start menu, as shown below. For Windows 95/98/Me/NT, click on the Start button, choose Settings generic cialis professional and then click on the Control Panel icon.

Once you have the Control Panel open, you'll need to search for the Audio properties. In Windows XP, you will find that under Sounds and Audio Devices, if you're in the Classic View. If you're in the Category View, you will first need to click on Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices, followed by Sounds and Audio Devices.
(To see whether you are in the Classic or Category view, simply refer to the first box in the blue column on the left hand side of the Control Panel window).

Below is a screenshot from the Windows XP Control Panel in the Classic View:

Here is one of the Windows XP Control Panel in the Category View:

For older computers, you can find the same settings by clicking on Sounds and Multimedia Properties or simply Sounds, depending on the version of Windows you're using.

Now, once you’ve clicked on the Sounds and Audio Devices icon, you will see the Sounds and Audio Devices Properties window. Across the top of that screen, you will see various tabs that can take you to different parts of the Properties area. Go ahead and click on the Sounds tab.

In the second half of the screen, you will see a scroll menu that lists all of the Windows sounds in different categories. Scroll down until you reach the Windows Explorer category and then click on the Start Navigation option.

When you click on the Start Navigation sound, a drop down menu will become available at the bottom of the window. This is where you can change the sound for each action. Click on the drop down arrow and a list of available sounds will appear. The one at the very top is the one we want. Find it and select [None].

Once you select [None], the last step is to click the OK button at the bottom.

Ah, silence sure is golden, isn’t it?!

Have you ever wished you had a better way to emphasize your point? (You know, besides raising your voice, of course!) Unfortunately, MS Word seems to be pretty immune to that tactic.

You've done the normal bold, color change and underline thing, but this time, you're looking for a little something "extra." (It's like the sprinkles my niece likes to decorate cakes with. Just a little something to add that extra touch!)

Yes?

Good, because I've got a possible solution for you!

How about a different underline for a change of pace?

Instead of the old stand-by, here are a few of the others you can try on for size:

So, now that you know you have options, let's get to the "how-to!"

Once you've decided what text should be underlined, go ahead and highlight it.

Now, it's time to get busy with the underlining.

Go to the Format menu, Font choice.

In Word 2007, you can click the arrow located in the bottom right hand corner of the Font section on the Home ribbon.

Under the Font tab, locate the Underline or Underline Style field.

Click the down arrow to display your choices.

If you have Word 97, you should see this in the menu:

In the newer versions of Word, you'll see something like the screenshot below. (Also note that this list has a scroll bar, so the list contains more choices than you can see at once).

Also, I found that in Word 2007, some of the options were accessible right from the Underline button on the Home ribbon. If you look closely, you'll see that there's a down arrow on the right side of that button. If you click that, you'll see this:

If none of the choices presented in this partial list are what you're looking for, you can choose More Underlines from the bottom and the Font dialogue window will open, allowing you to choose from the entire list.

Either way you go to find your preferred style, simply select the underline style of your choice and then click OK.

And just like that, you have an eye-catching underline that really packs a punch!
