Volume Control. Not the single volume control option, the one with 5
columns.. it's easy to put there, just check the appropriate box.

I selected plain old "Display" in Control Panel, so if you're confused
- don't blame me, blame Microsoft. It only says "Display Properties"
after Display is opened.

Thanks, but I wasn't looking for a quick launch option - although I
may have to resort to that. There was a way to do it in Win98 - it
sat in Systray on my old computer, next to the volume control icon.
