I have had to reload Windows XP but can't see how to turn off the annoying information bar sound / bleep.
Thanks for any suggestions

When you did a Google search for, say, "Windows sounds", the first result that came up would have probably been:

Come on. You DID try to help yourself first, before asking us to, didn't you?

Once you've done that, look at this: http://tinyurl.com/2297w
