bigred Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Does anyone know how to turn off/edit the volume/sound system tray icon, through the registry?I'd like to include this as one of my registry tweaks for my cd...Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I'll see what I can doedit: looks like about 12 changes are made to the registry when the sound icon in the systray is disabled. Hard to track.. sorry!If you're wondering, I used RegMon from sysinternals to track the SetValues it made. Although I'll need a better app to make complete snapshots before and after.

bigred Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 That's ok...but thanks for checking it out for me...It's a little thing to change afterward....but of course I was trying to make "the perfect cd"....Sigh...I guess it won't be perfect any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snooz Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 I pondered this myself and by doing this the sound did not work. The registry fix I posted does though after a reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
