Thanks Greg!!! I had the same problem with the volume control beep in Windows 2000
Pro and it was driving me crazy for weeks. As I am not so skilled with Registry edits,
your simpler solution was less scarry. I simply added the .Default sub-key under
.Default. Then set the default beep sound to "ding" in the Sounds setting on Control
Panel as you suggested. Yes, it worked!!! It appears some errant software load is
causing this problem for many Win 2k/XP users.
