Ok Im being a dumbass today.

Had a window popup asking about Active Desktpo to which I clicked yes (for a still unknown reason). Now everytime I click a button on IE it makes a click sound which is starting to **** me off a treat.

Any ideas before this drives me up the wall?

Cheers,
Simon.

To add Web content to your desktop:
Right-click a blank area on the desktop, and then click Properties.
On the Desktop tab, click Customize Desktop.
On the Web tab, click New, and then follow the instructions on your screen.

Notes

You must be connected to the Internet to add active Web content to your desktop.
To browse Microsoft's Desktop Gallery Web site, in the New Desktop Item Wizard, click Visit Gallery. The New Desktop Item Wizard opens when you click New on the Web tab.
To select a different Web site, type the Web site address, or click Browse to locate it.
