IE/Windows Sound Issue-File/Sound item repair?

This is a follow up to my previous post but a different question, looking for
a different response. I have tested mostly all windows sounds using the
sound tab in the device manager (where you can change sounds for events in
windows). All of the windows sounds I tested work EXCEPT for the sound
"windows navigation" which explains why I do not hear the "click" sound."
(When I click the test button to test the sound, no sound is produced). Is
there a way to repair/reinstall this sound file in any way? I am using
Windows 7 upgraded from Windows Vista 64 bit.

Thanks for any help.

You can extract it from either of your Windows Vista CD or Windows 7 CD.
(That's safer than downloading a copy from the web.)

Why I'm smiling as I write this: There are other people who write in
asking how to get rid of that sound; they would be happy to be in your
position. See...different strokes for different folks. ;-)

Thanks. Can you tell me the easiest way to go about doing this via the CD's?
Can I get it from the "Win 7" upgrade disc?

There's an old expression around these here parts: "Google is your
friend." Try using this as your search term:

how to extract a file from a windows cd

Here's one of the hits I got:

"How to extract a system file from the Windows XP CD-ROM?"
