Disable the startup of the Volume control in the system icon tray.

I need to disable volume control start in the system tray so that it does not show users that connect.

So far, I've fiddled with regedit, msconfig and mmc.  I can turn it off for my own login, but when others open a session, it appears.

Note: the volume must remain on and to a preset level (so I can't just delete or disable control of Volume of Mater).

Also note: Perfessional XP

  • Cannot click on "Remove hardware" to eject external drives in the system icons tray

    First of all, it's not the usual problem whereby Windows refuses to allow me to eject a flash disk because it is in use; My problem is different.

    I can't really top click (left or right). It applies only to this icon - all others, including the management of power, wireless, bluetooth, etc work fine - touchpad driver I can click on each of them. It is very annoying, because instead of this, I have to go to my computer to eject the flash drives, which is clearly more hassle. I see no reason why this happens no matter what light you can throw on this issue would be appreciated.

    Should I reinstall the USB drivers? If so, what are those who control the external drives...?

    Note: the actual usb drives work well when connected.

    Is this based on Windows or BIOS based?

    If you mean the ScanDisk in Windows startup you can disable it in the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager
    Change the BootExecute entry to: autocheck autochk *.

    After that restart the ScanDisk is disabled and doesn't appear at Windows startup.

  • Notification area: icons are invisible (NOT the system icons)

    Was fine when I went to bed last night. Computer did an automatic stop (no windows update). Started this morning and the notification area icons are invisible. The space of each icon is still there because I can mouseover a vacuum arises space and text for each icon.

    I tried the regedit fix, but that is really intended for people who cannot see their system icons. The icons of my clock, volume, network and battery are still visible, but no other icons are. Restarted several times, started in safe mode and windows theme switched from classic to vista. I can't find an answer to this problem.

    When I restart windows, first 2 or 3 icons will begin to show, but then after that, for some reason, they disappear and no other icons appear. As I said, however, the actual processes are still running and I can even access. Just the icons are not visible.

    Try a system restore to a Date before the problem began:

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    It's sound is very loud and annoying.
    I would have run a big mysql script with errors soon and my Bell system had become crazy.

    My cell phone sounded like an alarm and it was very awkward.

    If so you could turn off the sound in Control Panel-> sound-> last sounds tab

    Here, you can choose the event program and can affect a new sound or disable.
