Thanks in advance!

How do you add the Volume Control on Add or Remove Programs, please?

Checkbox on / Control Panel / Multimedia./ "Show Volume Control."

How is that possible? Multimedia is not on my control panel and volume
control is not a program.

How is that possible? Multimedia is not on my control panel and volume
control is not a program.

If your control panel is in classic view, pick "sounds and audio
devices", then check show volume control.
If your control panel is in category view, pick "sounds, speech, and
audio devices", then "sounds and audio devices", then check the show
volume control.
You are correct -- Volume Control is not a program. That's why you won't
find it on "add and remove programs"

I'm aware of all that. I was trying to enlighten Don Phillipson.

Now back to the original question:

How do you add the Volume Control on Add or Remove Programs, please?
When I click on "Place volume control in the task bar" I get the message,
"The Volume Contol program has not been installed. To install it, use
Add/Remove programs in Contol Panel." But I cannot find Volume anything in
the Add/Remove programs lists. Where am I to find "Volume Control" in order
to add it?

Please help.
