Disabling the system beep
Hi,
I want to disable the system beep on my Inspiron 8600. It's a loud beep that always comes out of your laptop speakers, regardless of your sound card and volume control settings.
To hear this beep:
Go to Start Menu -> Run -> cmd
At the command prompt, press Control-G and then press Enter.
I'm doing some database development work, and whenever I run a script with errors in it, I get tens of these beeps in a row, nonstop. It's kind of annoying and embarrassing! I'd like to turn the volume down or disable these beeps.
Thanks,

The following was posted by nautis re his 8500 system beep. Might work for the 8600.

The Solutions:
1.) There is a location in the registry that can be set to disable the pc speaker beep.
1a) AUTO: Download and run the following: PCSPKBEEP.REG (or if you want to do it by yourself see 1b)
1b) MANUAL: In Regedit go to the following key (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound) and change “Beep” from “yes” to “no”.
or
2.) There is a driver hidden in the “Device Manager” that can be disabled.
2a) Open “Control Panel\System\Hardware Tab\Device Manager” at the top click “View\Show hidden devices” then go to “Non-Plug and Play Drivers” and click “Beep” now click the “Driver Tab” and finally change “Startup Type” to “Disabled”.
After either of these you must reboot in order for them to take effect.
