Is it possible to set up a hotkey to mute/unmute the speaker in XP without
having to use the speaker icon in my WInXP "notification area"?

Maybe there is a registry hack to do this which I could invoke by running a
shortcut?

OTOH maybe there is a some free utility or small application which will do
this?

The Wonderful Icon will do this amongst other things.

Hi, thanks for the tip. I had installed the sw and it
works fine, but I could not find the "turn screen off"
option

I didn't think that computers came with keyboards without 'multimedia keys'
these days... Even the crappy £200 HPs seem to...
