TotW: Say Goodbye Call-Initiate Sound

What does it do?

You know how when you initiate a call, there is an annoying loud 'beep' in your ear (even when on Silent)...?

Not any more :o This tweak will rid you of it!

First of all, spark up your Registry Editor of choice. I have included screenshots below using 'Resco Registry' on the Smartphone, but you'll see pretty much the same thing whatever you are using.

You will be presented with a screen that looks like the following:

Here you see a list of the 'Hives' in the Registry.

The Registry has a 'tree like' structure, which you can navigate by scrolling and clicking, and go back by hitting, well, back :(

So... where is the all important location for this tweak?

Navigate yourself to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dialing

This key, as the name suggests, is where the settings are held for the 'Sounds', for when you are 'Dialing'

On the screen you now see before you, you'll see a number of values.

The value we need to edit is called 'Sound'. In this screenshot it is set to 'callStart.wav'. Click the value to change it, change the value to '*none*', hit OK, and you're done!
