Add a mute button to your system tray

So you're working... jammmin' to some Zeppelin... and the phone rings. You then proceed to fumble around your systray with your volume control attempting to open it to mute. I'm not one to critique another UI engineer's flow but... DUDE! REALLY!? WHERE THE HELL IS THE DAMN MUTE BUTTON IN THE SYSTRAY!?

Get ready to go around your ass to get to your elbow. Ready?

1. Download NirCmd
2. Download BeTrayed!
3. Assuming you installed NirCmd in your Program Files directory, create a shortcut on your desktop to: "C:\Program Files\nircmd\nircmd.exe" mutesysvolume 2
4. Create a new txt document with the following as the body:

  C:
  cd C:\Program Files\JohnnyFoster.com\BeTrayed!
  start BeTrayed "C:\Program Files\nircmd\nircmd.exe" mutesysvolume 2
  Y:
  exit
  cls

5. Save the file as MUTE_SYSTRAY.cmd
6. Create a shortcut to MUTE_SYSTRAY.cmd in your Start -> All Programs -> Startup folder

Double click to toggle your sound.

Nice.
