Wquinn shared this with us in microsoft.public.word.newusers:

I use Word 2002 which came with MS Works. The computer uses Windows
XP and SP2 has been installed.

Each time I start the Word program there is a media sounds that plays.

I have turned off (unmarked) all sounds in Tools/Options - the
Assistant has been turned off - and all of the sounds in the
'Windows/Media/Folder' were checked to find that particular sound -
all to no avail.

Any suggestions or help to turnoff this sound would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Look in the Windows Control Panel: there you can disable these sounds.

Please don't thank me in advance. Thank me afterwards if it works or
hit me in the face if it doesn't. ;-)
