    Anyone know how to turn this occasional beep off?
    Its an abomination

    Nearly gave me a heartattack thru my headphones twice in the last 2 days...

    You know the most horrible of beeps you get when you press the shift key by mistake 5 times?

    Thanks!
    Save me a trip to the hospital ;)

    Start > Settings > Control Panel > Accessibility Options

    It is on the keyboard tab;)

    Click the settings button if you only want to disable the beep. The option will be on the screen it opens to disable the beep.

    If you can read this, you're too close!
