Question Supressing "not found" beep

Good day,

Just curious if it is possible to suppress the beep that sounds when I attempt to run
"paext -e -o+ -or -d -q -psub *.zip" on a folder that does not contain any zips.

I am trying to use paext to unarchive all zip files that are present in subfolders using a batch file. I have to run this job daily, today I have 37 subfolders of which 7 contain zip files So as usual, everyone in the office is thinking 'what is he up to now' when they hear my PC beep 30 times (on numerous occasions I might add because I am still testing)!

Rather than checking for the existance of a zip in a particular subdirectory can I just turn the beep off? I do have the -q (quite) command flag on but I still get the PC speaker still beeps.

Please don't tell me to disconnect one of the PC Speaker wires, I already did that but it still beeps. (Just kidding.) In the future I'll try to control myself with the smilies but this being my first post I just couldn't help it.

Thank you for any thoughts.

Thank you TBGBe!

My program wasn't generating the "if exist *.zip" in the batch file. I added that and it works like a charm! I appreciate your assistance!
