The little yellow speaker in the lower-right of the screen, next to
the clock (which you can remove by right-clicking on the taskbar, by
the way), lets you display the volume control by clicking on it. For
those of us who have volume controls elsewhere, or simply do not need
to repeatedly change the volume, there is a way to remove the icon.
Open Control Panel by selecting Settings from the Start
menu.
Double-click on the Multimedia icon.
Under the Audio tab, in the Playback section, turn off the
volume control on the taskbar option. |
