“There is where the problem is. I have tried this for some 100 times (of course an exaggeration) but it doesn’t happen. Whenever I copy the icon in the startup folder, it just vanishes, disappears into thin windows explorer. HELP!!”

You might have a program (like Ad-Aware) that automatically protects the startup sequence!?

I never used this, I think Volumouse very much covers everything you need about manipulating sound volume with shortcut.
Oh, and the latest version works with Vista too.

@CT
Thank you for your help.

@Hasit –
Go to the VolumeTouch directory, ‘Right-Click’ the VolumeTouch.exe File, ‘Create Shortcut’, move or copy the shortcut to your ‘Startup’ directory –
ie:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\[shortcut to VolumeTouch] – you should be ‘Good-to-Go’!

Downloaded the software. It’s working great as well.

Does not work with vista. I use ac’tivAid 1.3 instead. It provider many small auto hotkey scripts bundled into one nice GUI. Of them will provide hotkeys for volume control which does also work in visat.

It even shows the fancy OS X style OSD whenever the volume has been changed via other sources. Let’s say you have a multimedia keyboard but did not install the keyboard drivers giving you the volume bar display whenever you change the volume. Together with ac’tivAid it will. Works even great with my Dell where i decided to get rid of the craplets by Dell (which were just not working relieable) – change the volume via the dedicated notebook keys – here goes your OSD.

One can argue if the other extensions to ac’tivAid are useful or not. Personally I love the WndHop like MultiMonitor extension which also works on vista (unlike WndHop)

Check it out, you might be digging it

[...] Windows only: Freeware application VolumeTouch controls your system volume through your mouse’s scroll wheel and customizable keyboard shortcuts. VolumeTouch may appear very similar to previously mentioned Volumouse, and it is, but a few features set it apart in the pros column. Most notably, VolumeTouch adds a great live-preview volume meter that displays your volume level in meter or percentage form as you change it. On the flip side, it’s not quite as robust on features as Volumouse, so if you use Volumouse for more than basic system volume control, it may not be for you. Whichever you prefer, both apps are great for adding more control and quicker access to your system volume. VolumeTouch is freeware, Windows only. VolumeTouch [via FreewareGenius] [...]

[...] Freeware Genius posted his review of VolumeTouch today, so I thought I’d try it out ad contribute my two cents. I’ve not used that particular app before, but I have used VoluMouse by Nirsoft (who make tons of great, tiny apps). Which one comes out on top? [...]

As I don’t do DotNet unless I absolutely have too, I use Pistaschio ( http://www.freewaregenius.com/2007/05/22/pitaschio/ ) for this effect, among other purposes, and unlike what Samer states in his review, it works rather well — you just find a free area of you desktop, or minimize all windows with Winkey+M, move the mouse wheel and see a volume bar swiftly going up or down. And it has a mere 2MB memory footprint

btw, Volumouse can be configured to use only hotkeys to control volume, such as when you’re using a laptop. i use Ctrl+Up, Ctrl+Down. granted it’s a little more buried in the options, but can be done relatively easily.
