Stop beeps in VMWare

When you are using VMWare with somthing like Windows Server 2003 you can get these anoying beeps. Everybody who ever had these will know what I’m taking about. But there’s a simpel way to stop the madness.
Open a command line and insert.

net stop beep

Now you can continue work in all peace. If you’ll noticed any other solutions let me now in the comments.

    It is also possible to disable this for ever. (So that you don’t have to do this command every time again and again after a reboot of the machine)

    in a command window type:
    sc config beep start= disabled
    (don’t forget about the space after “=”)

    For people who are running a linux distro, you can type
    “xset -b”

    I tried 

    xset -b

    but it only works on a graphical X interface.
    if you’re on ubuntu server you can try 

    sudo modprobe pcspkr

    which places the pcspeakers on the blacklist, or in debian server 

    setterm -blength 0

    which sets the bell duration to 0 milliseconds.
