  • This will disable the beep everywhere. You should add to your post what this will do, because I would definitely not want the beep to be gone everywhere. Its like saying: I have a door, but my key doesn't work on the lock, and your solution is: Remove the door entirely. I'm giving a -1 on this answer for that reason.

    it didn't stop the beeping for me. Speaking for myself, I don't mind if the beep is disabled everywhere. I'll try again, running the cmd as admin, but looking for alternate solutions before firing up `regedit.
