Disable loud beep in Remote Desktop
Ugh – what a stupid “feature”. I’m testing some AtomicParsley settings in Remote Desktop, and every time it fails, a ridiculously loud Beep comes out of my local computer. I’ve muted the speakers and disabled every setting in RD, but it still happens.
Enter the interwebs. Or, more specifically, a site called Weyland.be.
Turns out there is a system device called “Beep”. Seriously. Stop it and disable its startup, and the Beep goes away. You can find it under “Non-Plug and Play Drivers” after enabling “Show Hidden Devices” in the Device Manager. Full instructions at Weyland.be.
Actually … it is weyland, with an “e” of awesome! :p
That’s what I said! See?
Sorry, my bad!
Thanks! works well… can also type the following at command prompt:
net stop beep
turns it off right away, so you dont have to wait for the system to reboot after disabling the service.
Remember: if you dont disable the service too, then the beep will come back after rebooting!
Man!
You have saved my hears!!
Thank you!
Great! Worked ok in XP as well! Thank you
