I just tried using the beep command on a Windows XP machine and it doesn't work on either of my machines. I can try it in the Message window and nothing happens. I don't remember ever testing on WinXP before, but I don't think I done anything that should affect the system beep.
Alert gives a beep, other sounds seem to work fine, just no beep from the beep command.
Any suggestions?
If I remember right, D7 switched the beep from the "asterisk" sound to the "default" sound. But there isn't a sound named default in my sound control panel. Anyone know what sound the beep should be using on XP?
It works for me with WinXP Professional.
'beep' in the message window plays "Windows XP Ding.wav" from my %SystemRoot%\Media directory, with the same named sound selected as the 'Default Beep' under the Sounds tab in Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices
HTH,
-Sean.
