Hi Bruce

Can you please explain, do I have to create a text file with
this, and where do I put it? I have done batch files but not
this kind of thing. Thanks. What extension?

Adrien

Hi!
This is for volume up and you can either dot a cursor up
or a page up
depending on how much you want to move the volume.
The tab is to get to the proper menu item, and the rest
are delays to
set at your choosing for need to hear it or not...it has to
be slow enough
to catch it.

So, this can be used for volume or do not tab and it
will do the balance
control...

Hi!

The script for shell and the send key command will allow
getting into
the volume settings. You can have it programmed to go up or
down either one
at a time or using the page up and down it will jump up to
20 at a time.
The hotkey can be set for up or down and do it all in
one hotkey stroke.

I'll check out that utility in the next day or so. I have a
couple of
multimedia keyboards which do exactly what you outline and
do use it with
that Win 7 pc.
I ultimately want a solution that is not keyboard dependent
and that would
work in any win7 situation.

I have such a setup with our xp pcs which control volume
using several
components including a simple Autohotkey script, The old
venerable Winkey
Hotkey manager and Quickmix which allows me to set up 6
profiles which I
control volume with a series of hotkeys.
Quickmix, from what I can tell from compatability tests,
will not work in
the Win 7 Home Premium environment.

I'll check out that utility in the near term, and Bruce has
offered
another possible suggestion.
And I just uncovered a small Autohotkey macro which raises
and lowers Win7
volume using the combos of "win+up-arrow" and
"win+down-arrow".
Those of you who use Autohotkey well know, of course, that
those keys can
easily be changed to virtually anything.

Once again, thanks; and I am beginning to see some
possibilities of
eventually working around this issue.
