Thanks, I know where the mute button is on the wireless keyboard I use at
home but I use so many keyboards in different buildings that I can't
remember them all.
Regards,

Most of today's keyboards come with volume and mute controls on the rear
panel. Knowing where they are can save a world of aggravation.

Hi All,
The below instructions were posted on another list, hope they are
helpful.

Hello All:
As screen reader users, it's probably a good idea to have something
setup
ahead of time so that if we ever get muted, we can fairly easily unmute.
I
did an experiment and it worked, so Here is what I did. Keep
in mind DO THIS BEFORE YOU GET Muted.
1. Go to the start menu.
2. Press "p" to get to All Programs. If your start menu has more than
one
thing starting with "p" on it, such as "Printers and Faxes," you'll need
to
press enter to get into the programs menu.
3. Press "a" to go to Accessories, then press enter.
4. Press "e" to go to the Entertainment sub menu. In most cases, you
won't
have to press enter because Entertainment is the only thing on the
accessories sub menu starting with the letter "e."
5. Arrow down to "Volume Control." Do not press enter.
6. Press the Applications key, third key to the right of the space bar.
7. Press "r" to bring up the properties of the volume control shortcut
which is what you arrowed down to in the entertainment sub menu.
8. Press tab two times until you hear "Short cut key." When you hear
this,
type a key combination you'd like to use to get to the volume control
from
anywhere. I used ctrl-alt-v.
9. Press enter.
It would be good to test this before the day your computer becomes
muted.
Press ctrl-alt-v or whatever short cut key you chose. Make sure
you hear "Master volume Control." If you do not, then repeat the steps
above for setting up the short cut.
If you hear Master Volume, then you know the short cut key works. Tab
two
times to the "Mute All," check box. It should be unchecked. Press
space
bar to check it. Your screen reader will go silent.
Press alt-F4 to close down the volume control. Now, you are about to do
exactly what you will do if your computer ever becomes muted.
Press ctrl-alt-v or whatever short cut key you set up. Tab twice and
press
space bar. This will turn off the mute all check box and your screen
reader
will start speaking again.
