Solve : De-mute and pump up the volume?

1.	Solve : De-mute and pump up the volume?
Answer» I want to make a batch-file that should turn off MUTING (you know, the one that resides in the systray) and then set the volume at maximum. It is going to be part of a batch file that, when finished, warns users if errors occured during processing. Some of these users have their volumes down or muted. Any help would be great. WinXP Pro SP1I don't think I like this idea. It sounds suspiciously like a "prank", or worse, especially when read alongside your other post about hiding Media Player. Sorry i don't know how to but i would ALSO like to know.You may have problems attempting a batch solution. Better to use a VBScript where you can interact with the Volume Control. There are ways of warning users to errors other than to blast them out of their chairs! A popup message would be a gentler and kinder solution.
