Suppressing Beeps on a Windows Embedded Standard 2009 Device
In certain instances you may not want the embedded device system to beep when an event occurs or those associated with message boxes popped up by the system or user applications. In these cases you can add a registry key to suppress this beep, namely:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound\
Beep REG_SZ Value=yes
ExtendedSounds REG_SZ Value=yes
This registry key was not originally included in the Windows API - User component. It is often preferred that the system does give an indication by means of beeping that it is running smoothly. If you do want the system to beep you would also need to include the Beep Driver component in your image. This component is also a required dependency for many touch screens.
