Quick Sheller and XP Sound Problem

Argh...I couldn't find soundMON.exe or any exe associated with Soundmax. I did find SndVol32.exe which brings up Window's mixer. I used MalaLauncher to open SndVol32.exe when Mala starts. No go.

So I rebooted the pc and exited out of Mala, then opened Task Manager and opened window's sound mixer. I did not start the toolbar. I left the mixer up and opened Mala back up. Still no volume control!!

The only way I can control  the PC's volume is to have the Window's toolbar open.

maybe give this a try: http://www.autohotkey.com/

you should be able to use it to create a macro that will change the master sound volume form the with a keyboard key or other command.

Ok…looks like CabVol is the winner! Works great with my trackball. Now I need to figure out how to have CabVol load minimized. First, I tried creating a shortcut to CabVol. Under properties of the shortcut I selected minimized. I then selected in Scheduled Tasks to start the shortcut ever startup. When I start the pc everything loads properly but Cabvol always loads max.

Can anyone help me with a Batch file to minimize CabVol at startup? Since the task bar is hidden is this even possible?

Is this correct?
START /MIN C:\CabVol\CabVol.exe

I have it working!

1. Install MaLa Launcher (this plugin is awesome! Big props to TheShanMan) http://malafe.net/index.php?page=plugins
2. Install CabVol (Another awesome program! Thanks ahofle!) http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,69901.0.html
3. In my CabVol folder I created a Batch file with this code: start/min "CabVol" "C:\CabVol\CabVol.exe"
4. Now go to Mala\plugins\Launch folder and create a shortcut to the Batch file. (You need to create the Launch folder)
5. Now when you start Mala CabVol should be running minimized.

This worked for my setup. After trying several different suggested programs I have found no one method is guaranteed when you are dealing with a shelled OS. I thought I would share in hopes someone could find it useful.
