[jaws-uk] Re: Volume Control in System Tray

Hi Belinda,

I have always selected the volume item from the system tray, made my changes 
then hit alt+f4.

However, your query got me thinking and I experimented a little.

If you create a shortcut to the volume controls executable on the desktop 
then add a shortcut key, it works quite well and is less bother.  You still 
make your changes and press alt+f4 to exit.


To create a shortcut on the desktop:

right click on your desktop and find the new sub-menu from the list of 
items.

Cursor right and then  cursor down to the shortcut item and press enter.

You will be asked to enter the path to the item.  Just type sndvol32.exe and 
tab to the next button and press enter.

Now you will be asked to type in a name for the shortcut.  overwrite the 
suggested name with whatever you wish.  I chose volume controls.

Now, tab to the finish button and press enter.

You now have a shortcut on your desktop with the name you gave it.

Find this shortcut and press your applications key.

Find the properties item and press enter.

Tab until you find the invitation to enter a shortcut key and chose a letter 
which you are not using for any other shortcut.  I chose v.

Now, tab to the ok button and press enter.

If you and I have all of this right, you should now be able to press 
alt+control+v to bring up the volume controls directly.

HTH,

Phil Medway.

decrease the volume in Windows?
