Annoyances.org - Possibly another way (Windows 2000 Discussion Forum)

I always disable all sounds on Windows. There's nothing more annoying than hearing the (way too long) windows startup sound on the wrong moments.

However, disabling all system sounds results in getting a system speaker 'beep' (at maximum volume) everytime you change the main volume control.

Better, but still bad, especially when using earphones and having iTunes at a low level volume.

Well, here's the solution:

- run regedit.exe 

change these key values:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound] "Beep"="yes" "ExtendedSounds"="yes" 

into

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound] "Beep"="no" "ExtendedSounds"="no".

Ahh enjoy the silence...
