  • The sound of silence

    This one isn't related to SQL Server. But do you know when sometimes you get stuck in an almost infinite loop of dialog boxes and for some reason you don't want to kill the application?

    "Sorry <beep> guys, this <beep> should <beep> end in <beep> any mome<beep>nt now <beep>."

    Well it happened to me these days and I decided that enough was enough and I would request the help of Saint Google!

    It turns out  that at least on XP and Vista there is a nice registry key at: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound] called, have a guess: "beep". Change it to "no" and logoff / logon.

    No more awkward noises since then....
