Mute sound on Windows boot up via script or command line URGENT


Recommended Posts

Run it from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

you can make a small autoit exe to call from the command line


send ("{Volume_Mute}")
exit

if its the only item in the run key, it should execute before the windows entrance jingle.

Thanks but there is other items in the Run loading which is needed.

I compiled that script, named it 'mute.exe' and put in the root of d:\

in HKCU\Appevents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\

change the default key in both .current and .default entries to point at d:\mute.exe instead of the '..startup.wav'

in HKU\.Default\Appevents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\

perform the same actions

--its toggling at the moment - trying to figure out if its running and failing and re-running. or if having it in both locations is causing it to run multiple times.

BTW - placing the mute in the run/runonce/runonceex never worked, even when the first/only item

you have made me curious for a method to accomplish this as well. My first solution has a fatal flaw in that if the volume is already muted, it will unmute.

so renaming 'windows xp startup.wav' (or deleting the contents of the media folder)

then from the run key executing an autoit script like


send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
send ("{Volume_down}")
Exit

Would accomplish the effect.

Thanks for your help, a delete is the quick and dirty way to get this done on 52 pc's via script.

"Mute sound on Windows boot up" is not the same as "stop the windows login sound from playing"...

Just in case getting rid of some of the other sound effects becomes "URGENT" :lol: , here's a tweak with some clues:
