Hello all, several times I have accidentally muted all systems sounds in the windows' sounds control panel, which included of course loosing any speech. Can anyone tell me how to set up a hotkey or workaround that will uncheck the mute check box so I won't require sighted help again. Last time this happened I was able to usea friend's Pacmate as an external synthisizer, via Pac,ate desktop, to go in and uncheck it myself but the likelyhood of having that available to me next time this happens is slim. Any suggestions?
