Hey all I'm looking for some help with a tough question. I'm trying to find a way to disable all Windows default sounds through either a GPO object or through a possible login script which yields a reg edit (or something else?). This needs to be done at the user level, when they login, not on just the local machine. I'm hoping to either have a GPO set to do it or a one time login script. I've seen some tips here and there within the Unattended forum, but nothing concrete nor in an enterprise networked environment. Any help would be GREATLY appriciated!

Here are the registry entries that you need to change.

You could easily accomplish this with a logon script.

Thanks so much... will possibly try rolling this code tomorrow to 25 clients. Will let you know. Any other options are also welcome.
