Hallelujah! Finally, an answer to that annoying issue. After months and
months of repeated "dings" using Money, it's finally fixed. It's so quiet
using Money now that I almost miss the sound. Almost.

Thank you so much, Brent!

It's not unique to Money, Ed; I've experienced it with programs as
diverse as Registry Workshop.

It's apparently part of an obnoxious IE legacy scheme:

Thank you for the feedback, Catherine, and you're quite welcome.

I remember how annoying that was when I first installed Vista back in
March, so I'm glad I could help.

Thanks, I found it easier to use the file Brent provided just because I don't
often go into the registry, except when solving a problem step by step with
MS technical support. I am no great computer specialist. I really appreciate
the help provided here!

Perfect, Brent, thank you! I am indeed reading the posts on the web. I
executed the registry fix from your website and then rebooted and opened
Money Plus. No more annoying beep when I right click on an item in the
budget. Thank you so much for your help.

Perfect, Brent, many thanks. I am indeed reading the posts on the web.

I executed the registry fix and have used Money since. No more annoying beep
when I right click on a budget item. Gratefully yours.

He posted a file named DingFix.reg that contained 7 lines, three of

Sorry, Catherine, it dawned on me after posting that you were using a
Web-based newsreader without attachment access, so I just uploaded it to
my Web site.

Thank you Brent! I am sorry, I didn't find a file! Did I miss something?
Otherwise I am more than ready to fix this annoying bug.

If you Merge the attached file into your Registry, it will remove the
offending subkeys, and unlike the MSDN reference, should be a permanent
fix.

You can save and Edit the file if you wish to view the contents. Let us
know if this solves your problem, Catherine.

Great to know there's a fix for this annoying sound. I wouldn't want to
tamper with my registry unless I am sure I know what I am doing. Whenever I
alter the registry, it's through a series of clearly defined steps. Here, I
am not sure how to go about it and wouldn't want to end up with a worse
problem. Thanks.

I also experienced this annoyance after installing Vista, but after some
experimentation, was able to resolve it by removing everything under the
Registry Key "HKCU\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\CCSelect ".

I have since come across this on MSDN if you require more information:
http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=333197

If you feel uncomfortable editing the Registry, I or someone else can
provide you with a file which will perform this for you.

Thank you so much for the very prompt and helpful response. I reinstalled as
you suggested, and now my .mny file does open with msmoney.exe. I no longer
need to click the shortcut to the Money program in order to open it, or to
open my other .mny file.

Right clicking on various items in the budget list still causes that
computer beep, though. I wish I could get rid of it!

Thanks again.

OK. I had misunderstood.

Yep. Reinstall using RunAsAdmistrator as described in the other
response.

Did you install Money by browsing to the
setup file, and right-click that file, and choose
RunAsAdministrator? If you did not, I would reinstall.


If you did, I am surprised that a shortcut was not put into your
Start menu in a folder called "Microsoft Money Plus". You could
create your own new shortcut to
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money Plus\MNYCoreFiles\msmoney.exe"
to start Money if you installed into the typical location.

You would need another one to
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money Plus\MNYCoreFiles\mnyinsit.exe"
to run Insights.

When I say that there is no icon next to my .mny file, I mean next to the
file name in Windows Explorer of course.

I should add that in order to open my .mny file, I must click on the Money
program shortcut since clicking on the name of my .mny file leads me to a
window instructing me to find the appropriate program (in other words,
nothing happens since no program is recognized as being able to open the
file).

Incidentally, I used previous versions of Money before installing Money
Plus, but I uninstalled the most recent version I had (Money 2006).

Thank you again.

Hello, I downloaded and installed Money Plus yesterday in Windows Vista. It
works fine, except for two bugs:
--my computer beeps whenever I right click an item in the budget list, and
this beep is not related to the sounds in Money;
--there is no program associated with the .mny file, which means there is no
icon either next to my .mny file. I cannot force a program to open it. When I
browse and select msmoney.exe as the program that should open my .mny file,
nothing happens.
If someone has a solution to these problems, I would appreciate reading
them. Thank you.
