Yeah, it uses the global hooks that only work on NT/2000/XP.  Would you like me to recompile with the application level constants WH_MOUSE and WH_KEYBOARD? (I'm not sure how useful this will be if it has to have the focus to work though)  :(  You're also free to have the source code if you'd like to experiment with it.

That was my original plan, but microshaft requires about an additional 200 lines of code dealing with mixers and devices to change the master volume as opposed to a single API call to change the wave out volume.  I may mess around with it at some point, but for now just decided to turn up the master and use this to control wave output.

I will post something in the software forum for this as well.

Can you get the program to run in the background on OS upon startup?  That way I don't have to manually run the program and minimize the window.  Is it possible or is running upon startup the closest solution?  Great job by the way!  This is something I've been looking for for a long time.  Thanks again!

Drag a shortcut to cabvol.exe into your startup folder, and then go to the shortcut's properties and select Run: 'Minimized'.  It should then start with Windows and minimize itself.  If I had more time and motivation I would've made it a tray icon, but it wouldn't really have made much difference other than not showing up in the task bar.  I may look into it later.
