Msys (XP) - Disabling the Annoying Beep

The Msys beeps whenever the backend is hit, tab with bad name etc.

2 ways to kill the annoying MSys (The devkitpro MINGW32 console interface) beep:

1. Create the .inputrc file under you profile root (e.g. /Profiles/user/) and
set bell-style none

NB: Window Explorer doesn't allow file creation with no filename. Created .inputrc with "touch" in cmd prompt.

2. Alternatively, you may want to consider disable the Beep hardware once and for all (Who uses beep these days anyway?).

From you System control panel, open Device Manager.
From "view" menu, choose "Show Hidden Devices".
Look for "Beep" device under the "Non-plug and Play Drivers" tree list
Select "Disable"
Reboot.
