How to disable that annoying PC speaker beep

I've had the pleasant experience more than once where I'm sitting in a meeting quietly using my computer (with my sound muted) and there will be a windows warning that pops up causing a "Beep" sound on my computer. The sound doesn't come from my speakers, but from the speaker on the motherboard itself.
Definitely annoying and I wonder why Microsoft didn't disable this sound as well when you hit mute, but here is how you do it:

1. Right-click on "Computer" or "My Computer" from the start menu and select "Manage"
2. From the left bar, find the "Device Manager" node and select it.
3. From the top menu bar, select "View" and then "Show hidden devices". This will cause a new node named "Non-Plug and Play Drivers" to be displayed in the main area.
4. Expand the new node "Non-Plug and Play Drivers"
5. Right-click on the node named "Beep" and select "Properties"
6. Select the "Driver" tab and change the Startup Type to be "Disabled"
7. Click OK.
   

Mint.com

Loving this new website mint.com. Mint.com is an online application that manages your various accounts. (mortgage, checking, credit cards) It is a lot like the old Microsoft Money application but has a few key distinctions which makes it better if you ask me:

• Adding new accounts is easy
• Not as many options as MS Money but makes it easier to use. (if you ask me, money does a good job of providing an option for everything.... problem is that makes things overly complicated and confusing)
• Always online.

Here are the reason's why I love mint.com

• "Transaction's" view which shows transactions across all the accounts you have.
  
• Each transaction is automatically categorized. (I always hated categorizing everything in MS money just so I could see what I have been spending in each area) MS money does this but it isnt quite as dynamic as mint.com is.
  
• A focus on money categorizations rather than accounts. If you think about it, who cares about the accounts you have? What you really care about is: Where is my cash? Where are my investments? Where are my debts?

Of course, the downside is you have to trust Mint.com with all of your account info and passwords. Overall a really slick and well thought out application. As far as usability of website and design goes it definitely is up there with some of the newer and better website designs I've seen.
