preventing users from adjusting volume

B

Bret

Hello,

Is there a way to block general users on a computer from adjusting the
volume level? We have users who like to turn down the volume so they
cannot hear the alarms on the computer.

A program or a registry edit or something?

Thank you,

Bret

Bret,

Not sure it's possible. A user asked the same question in March:

You would have to disable Media Player as the volume controls are linked. My
keyboard has volume keys for example. Do yours too? Then you have the shortcut
keys aswell.

Unmapping the volume keys (pneumonics) are easy though.

Can users can get to START | ALL PROGRAMS | ACCESSORIES | ENTERTAINMENT?

You can always remove the icon from the ALL
USERS\PROGRAMS\ACCESSORIES\ENTERTAINMENT to stop that way in, but it depends how
your users get their menus...

Lastly, spoof your e-mail address from the spammers
