[OT] Windows scripting and system beeps

[Simon Ryley <simon.ryley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I know the list is a mine of useful info, so are there any windows
scripting, Dos or programming experts out there?

I am trying to create a VERY simple of way of providing feedback to a
user that an IR remote command has been received.

On my htpc, the power button on the remote starts the PVR app.
Unfortunately, this can take a few secs to load, so the users often
press the power button again, resulting in multiple instances of the
same app.  I would like to add either a system beep or a simple splash
screen to the button mapping file for the IR remote, to give the user
feedback that their command has been received.

Googling hasn't got me too far, and from what I can see DOS (a bit
before my time, I'm a Win95 kid) doesn't have a beep command, neither
does windows scripting.

Anything else I can try?
