I have checked show icon on taskbar for sound and I have right clicked the
taskbar and selected always show for the volume icon and I have selected
don't show for the miserable wireless mouse and keyboard that I don't have
and the taskbar doesn't change and even when I reboot, the miserable wireless
mouse and keyboard icon appears on the taskbar and the volume icon does not.
So far, none of the hints have helped.
As a related item, how can I get the Bill Gates Windows theme song to quit
blasting me out of the room every time I reboot. I want sound, but I don't
ever want to hear this sound bite again.
