I don’t have access to the registry or Device Manager on my work PC, so I have put drugninja’s command:

sc stop beep && sc config beep start= disable

in a .bat file in my startup folder.

I watch webinars and listen to training calls all the time and have to adjust volume for each. I prefer to use earphones which helps drown out ambient noise but when I adjust volume, that beep just about blows my eardrums out. Why someone thought it imperative to add this “feature” is beyond me but a million thanks for the instructions on how to disable it.

Thanks so much! I just recently wiped my computer clean and put XP on it. . . Vista was awful. . . And for some reason I was getting all of these system beeps every time I clicked on something twice etc. I use my computer a lot in class and did not want to have to deal with this lol. Your instructions were very simple. I appreciate it!

My computer “purrs” to me – I have narrowed it down by watching Task Manager “processes” & when it purrs the only process that runs at exactly the same time is BCMWLTRY.exe or WLTRYSVC.exe
This is quite annoying and I would like to get it to stop…but how?

While the system beep only annoys me, for some reason it SCARES the hell out of my poor dog and sends her running for the hills. So Thank You from the both of us!
