How to mute volume registry setting

Hi !

You can mute your sound from registry in two ways:

In that new Windows Audio Property selects: Startup Type click and choose Disable and at Startup Type press Stop. In the last press Apply  => Ok.

From registry keys you can press Start => Run… and type "regedit" a window will appear and press Ctrl+F and search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ServicesAudioSrv.
