If I look at my sounds fldr within the control panel,
I have un-checked all the listed functions to have a silent
running PC...One with NO sounds!!

However, when I want to use the "search" function
on a given folder, I can't seem to get the Wizard nor that dog to
stop with the sounds.

How can I muzzle the dog and silence that Wizard forever?

This isn't Win98, is it? You're running XP, right? Or maybe it's an Office
installation that's doing it... But I don't recall that happening on 9x
systems(?)

In WinXP, you turn off the Assistants with an option in the Search window
itself. Click "More advanced options", then "Other search options", then
"Change preferences." The options you want to change are in there somewhere
(in WinXP, anyway.)
