Which file can I put script to run at start?

I am trying to turn off the system beep for a Dell D620 Latitude.  The beep is extremely loud.

This command works:
xset b off

I am not sure which file I should put this is so I don't have to manually type that every time I log in.

Can someone point my in the correct direction?  Had it in Xsession for gnome...need to know which file for Xfce.

Thanks,

To work all DE put it in ~/.bash_profile as

xset b off &

at the end of the file. The "&" means execute but don't wait.

Ok.  That will work but is there a better place so I don't have to put in it every user's bash profile?

I would think there is a file where it will run every time Xfce starts.

u could try this but u would have to change it for every user

click on the xfce menu then go into settings and click on auto-started applications and then click add and then configure it to however u want..

You could Try /etc/profile or add a script to /etc/profile.d/ . Or you could change the startxfce4 script, if that is what you use to start Xfce.

Personally, I have disabled the pcspkr module in the kernel ;-)

Run the xfce4-autostart-editor and add a new task.

Append the following line to your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist so that beep remains off after the system reboot:
blacklist pcspkr
