On a device running Windows XP, is there a way to take away the sound icon
located in the control panel. This particular computer has alerts which
makes a audible sound but I have people that keep turning it off, etc.
Yes, you can hide the sounds applet in control panel and Start Menu.
Don't forget to set your event sounds before you hide the applet.
Click Start, click Run, type or paste next line and press Enter:
%SystemRoot%\system32\gpedit.msc
In the Group Policy program, click Help on the menu bar for help.
Under Local Computer Policy,
Expand (+)User Configuration
Expand (+)Administrative Templates
Click Control Panel
On right, double-click "Hide specified Control Panel applets"
Click "Explain" tab for further information.
(You're welcome.
