1. Open Sound Recorder (Start -> Accessories -> Entertainment)
2. Go to File -> Save As, navigate to "C:\WINDOWS\Media" and save it as "blank.wav"
3. Open Sounds and Audio Devices in the Control Panel, go to the Sounds tab
4. Click "Default Beep" and change it to "blank.wav" (should be in the drop-down
menu, if not use the Browse button)
5. Click Apply, then click Save As and name your sound scheme (in case you need to
change it later)
Now Windows can play silent beeps at you all it wants, and you'll never have to hear
it.
