Instant Mute (Windows XP)

Normally we all use windows sound settings / tray icon to mute sound if needed, Instead of that we can create a shortcut on desktop and use it instantly.

Use the following steps to create a small shortcut on desktop to mute the sound instantly :


Open Notepad


Just copy and paste the below mentioned codes :


set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.run"Sndvol32"
WScript.Sleep 1500
oShell.SendKeys"{TAB 2} "
oShell.SendKeys"%{F4}"


Save it to mute.vbs


Now double click on the shortcut to mute sound instantly.
