    Why can’t I find how to disable the sound in Outlook 2010 that comes on when I select empty deleted items.

    Doesn’t work. Unchecked that option, but I still get a fucking sound every email. Fucking Microsoft…how goddamn useless can you be? Pretty fucking useless apparently.

    I agree, this does not work. I have a user that clearly has this unchecked and she gets a sound every new message.

    This is actually not where the sounds are coming from. Your Windows Theme has sounds associated with it, and that’s what you need to modify. Right click on your desktop and click ‘Personalize’. At the bottom click ‘Sounds’. Under ‘Program Events’ you will see a list of items that have sounds associated with them. You can select an item, then in the drop-down menu below labeled ‘Sounds’ you can choose ‘(None)’. Once you’ve changed all of the items you desire, click ‘OK’.

    Your life will be better after this. I promise! :)
