Disable those system beeps

Anytime I'm given a new laptop or install a new OS, one of the first things I do is disable all sounds. The only thing left is the annoying beeps, especially when listening to music with my head phones on. So thanks to Andrew Connell, he gives a solution.

 

Open a command prompt and enter the following to stop the system beep:

C:\net stop beep

While this works, the beep will be re-enabled the next time the machine is rebooted. So what you want to do is configure it to never start back up:

C:\sc config beep start= disabled

Be sure to leave a space between the equals (=) sign and the word “disabled”.
