Two things I recommend you do:
1. Change the Default User profile so that new users
will not have this setting. You can do this by modifying
the default user's registry using the load hive option in
regedit. The value you need to modify is:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\SysTray\Services
Change it to 27 Decimal.
Do not forget to unload the hive after you make the
modification.
2. Include a line in the usrlogon script that changes the
user's registry so that the volume control is turned off.
Here is the line, it should be all on one line, not wrapped
as it may appear in your newsreader:
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\SysTray /v Services /t REG_DWORD /d 27 /f
I have attached a .reg file for the above setting, as well as
a .cmd file that has the above command line. If you like you
could save the .cmd file to the system32 folder and call it
from the usrlogon script.
In the future, you can figure out which setting in the registry
needs to be changed for things like this by using regmon
from
www.sysinternals.com.
