I've recently re-installed WinME (yeah, I know I should have put XP Professional on like I said I would - I'm stupid OK?). Anyways, whenever I right-click and "open in new window" I get a very nasty-sounding and annoying click that wasn't there before. Anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it as I can't find it anywhere in my sound options? . . . Of course I might be looking in the wrong place . . .
Cheers in advance!

Just delete the windows\media folder and listen to the sound of silence. B)

Just delete any files ending with "exe" and that noise will go away for sure!
...That was a joke: DONT delete any of those files. (even I'm not that evil)

Anyway . . . saw a pretty good offer for a 120GB HDD at a local shop - thinking of adding it to my PC as a second HDD with Win XP Professional on. Say I did that and wanted to move EVERYTHING onto this new drive so that it then became my primary drive and my internet connection and so on ran from it, what would I have to do? Would I have to reinstall all of my drivers or is there a very simple way of transfering it all without corruption?
Remember - nice easy & simple steps; I'm still on the bottom rungs of the IT ladder.

Actually, the Maxtor drives come with really clear instructions along with some software called MaxBlast which is pretty idiot-proof and lets you essentially replicate an existing drive to a new drive.
Mind you, I still have big beefs with their warranty policies (along with practically every other big HD brand), but thats another story. (And unavoidable unless you get one of those nice serial ATA drives....or SCSI even)

YAY! Thank you Charles - a useful & direct answer for once.
And thank you Mucus - that's very useful information. I shall investigate this further . . . otherwise I may do as Species 1162 suggests - but that's hastle and I won't learn anything & it'll cost me even more money that I don't have.

Transfering files would be easy. When you install XP on the new drive, it will automatically set up a dual boot with the ME drive. Just load up XP, and drag your files across. In fact, you could use the ever-so-handy "Files and setting transfer wizard" to move all your files and settings.
Programs would have to be reinstalled. As would many drivers, because XP (and 2000) often use different drivers than ME (and 98 and 95). Windows will almost certainly have built in drivers that can be used though, unless you are usins some really exotic hardware.

Well, the replication idea has the advantage that there would be absolutely no change to his install. Aside from the fact that his hard drive would be bigger, Windows shouldn't even blink.
Unless you really need to do a clean rebuild (i.e. shedding old software, crap, etc.) its pretty good.

But then he'd still have to reinstall Win XP on top of ME. And that's all icky.
