In netscape : Edit -> Prefs -> Navigator -> Applications and edit each
of the offending file types to ask what to do instead of running a
plug-in automagically. A bit tedious, but it should do what you want.

A more common solution : Install sound card, do sndconfig and make sound
card work , use aumix to set volume at minimum. te he he he

If you look very closely at the underside of 
  an Intellimouse Explorer, and look directly 
  at the LED, you can see the fires of hell 
  awaiting you for buying a MS product......or
