Turn off the annoying beep sound on virtual machines

I was building a new windows 2003 server using Microsoft Virtual PC and was getting that annoying beep through the pc speaker and remembered that I have a registry fix for this buried on my scripts folder I've carried along through the years.  I thought perhaps this would also help someone else.

This is a registry change on your virtual machine.  Copy this file onto your virtual machines desktop, right-click and select Merge.

Here's the contents:

   1:  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

   2:   

   3:  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Beep]

   4:  "Start"=dword:00000004

Reboot the Virtual Machine for the change to take effect.
