Notes 8.5 help clicking sound
Category Notes Help
Notes 8.5 has switched to using an eclipse based help system. This appears to use an embedded Internet Explorer control for rendering on windows machines. This leads to a rather irritating clicking sound when it first builds it index (which took about 3 minutes on my system, Notes basic took about 3 seconds) and when navigating around pages. To disable the sound, you want to go into your Windows Control Panel and select Sounds. Then scroll down to find Start Navigation and set the sound to (None).
Just a suggestion for the IBM eclipse/Notes help folks, if you have a search field in a help system, if a person types in some text and then presses enter, have it do the equivalent of pressing the go button.
