This beep really sucks, but it seems (researching the web) that nobody ever (in any programming language) could kill it in a reasonable way.

Explorer++ seems to have found a way around it, but I haven't looked at how they did it.

Ouch. Yes, I've had that happen to me as well. It's quite painful.

This is a problem with many Alt+Letter combos. It's VB+OS-related. The only workaround is to choose another shortcut.

No problem at all (and thanks for the praise!)! This beep really sucks, but it seems (researching the web) that nobody ever (in any programming language) could kill it in a reasonable way.

What you can do (in case you are really a hardcore keyboarder): hide the whole menu (Alt+Up). Then the beep goes away.

YEAH!!! Finally found out how to suppress that bloody beep!!!
