Volume Controls

Have you ever lost your volume icon? You know, the little one that sits down in your taskbar right next to the clock that looks like a tiny speakerphone. One minute you're going to adjust your volume by using that icon and the next thing you know, it's missing! I mean, what are you supposed to do when something like that happens? Well, you get it back, that's what. And here's how you do it!

To get the icon back in Windows XP, go to Start, Control Panel and click on the Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices link. Next, click on Sounds and Audio Devices. A box will then appear that has several different tabs. Make sure the Volume tab is selected and under the Device volume section, make sure the box that says "Place volume control icon in the taskbar" is checked. That should bring your volume icon back instantly. So, now when you want to change your volume, you can just click on that little speakerphone and get to work!

Now, while you're in the Sounds and Audio Devices screen, you can also change your speaker volumes and experiment with your Sounds, Audio, Voice and Hardware settings. Here's to having complete control over your computer's volume once again. Yes!
