how do I get rid of beeping sound every time I get a new email?

I went through every sound in my media files which I accessed through
the Sounds section of my control panel and it's not in there. Is there
any other folder it could be in?

 

IE\Tools\Options\General, play sounds. Just untick it.

Sorry Joe that should be OE.

what is OE and where do I find it?

 

Outlook Express. Don`t you use it for your email ?.

 

What email program do you use?

You wouldn't want to make it easier to give you an aswer if you happen
to mention what proggy you use for email?

The Windows NT/2000 , default sound scheme (where you were in CP) is
New Mail Notification - notify.wav

The default sounds usually hang around the c:\windows folder , or
c:\winnt, depends where what drive / path your Windows is installed on.

Windows 2000 seems to be \winnt\media\notify.wav
while Win XP x64 is \windows\media\notify.wav

That's of course what normal setups use, you seem to have something
special.

And the email program is???????

 

Sorry, been a bit busy. It's Outlook 2003 - not express. I use it on my
work computer. I tried to find sounds in options but it doesn't offer
any. I thought all sounds on my computer were in the Media section but
I went through all those sounds and can't seem to find this one.

 

It's no fun not guessing.

Sorry, I can't help much. I never installed Outlook or OE. Pegasus, the
email client I use, has an option to turn off sounds. Perhaps there is
something in the preferences or options or settings menu of Outlook for
that.

 

I don't use OL but I'm reading that it is in Tools/ Options/ Email/
Advanced email options - uncheck play sound when email arrives.

 

Just your bad luck, I choose not to install OL 2003 a few days ago since
I don't use it, and thus can't run a file monitor to see what sound file
it looks for. Oh and most likely a email account as well

As Mike Easter said, it's in the same location for OL 2000.

If I click on the ? button then Play a sound , a popup says

Plays a sound when a new message arrives. To specify the sound you want,
double-click the <bold>Sound</bold> icon in Windows Control Panel.

Okay, so I installed OL 2003 (Office Professional Enterprise 2003) on
the XP Pro x64 PC, made an email account , setup everything to go and
got snookered by my ISP mail problems. Anyway the file monitor from
sysinternals worked and finally when a mail arrived the sound file you
most likely were looking for in CP/Sounds in your first post is (on my
setup, yours may differ).

J:\Windows\media\Windows XP Ding.wav

It's the default beep , not the New Mail Notification option sound.
