    Go into your device manager, go to View-> Show Hidden Devices, and then under Non Plug and Play Devices, choose Beep. Under Driver, change Startup to Disabled.

    Enjoy ;)

    I think it was documented somewhere here before, but thats how I remember it.

    I believe the Beep you are all speaking bout is when you are typing, correct? THat is when you are pressing more than 3 keys at once or too fast, if I remember from previous threads.

    If you guys are speaking of the beeping when changing power states that can be changed in Power Manager.
