I almost never use it, but I believe you can use Windows-Tab. From there, you can tab among several windows, including Taskbar and Desktop. However, it doesn't work on the Dell here at my office. The IT guys may have turned it off, which is okay with me. The quickest way to get to the volume control was suggested earlier. Go to the System tray, and open it. You probably want to adjust either the master volume, or the WAVE volume, which controls JFW, along with several other things. Just play around with it, and see what you like. Also, don't discount the possibility of that external volume control; so many machines now have it.
