   Even with Window's Sound Scheme=No Sounds, I get a nice "gentle"     
   windchime-like sound when my 3G mobile connects.  I get a simple one-tone     
   beep when the pc settles down into Hibernate or back again.  But, Apoint's     
   and OXP sounds would be very loud with an annoying tone.  And.. if I     
   happend to be playing some music through the audio-out to my amplified     
   speakers, the Apoint/OXP sounds trumped everything and would make me jump!     
    LOL   
      
   "net stop beep" disables the sounds produced by the programs, but my audio     
   out for music is unaffected.   
      
   The command is active per Windows session.  I use Hibernate most of the     
   time so it is not a problem.  But at next full reboot "net stop beep"     
   would need to be reapplied.   
      
   For a permanent setting, use:   
      
   sc config beep start= disabled   
      
   These should also work in Win7/8/10, IIRC.
