I was starting up my laptop during my class today and the loud startup noise of the Windows startled everyone in the room and I wished I could have somehow turned the volume down. Even the mute button on my laptop works only after Windows are loaded. Even if it works , you have to remember every time to mute or lower the volume  before switching on the computer. Did you ever experience a situation where you turned on your laptop and the welcome greeting sound irritated you and people around you. Auto Mute is a volume control software which helps you in such situations.

Auto Mute is a portable volume control software that allows you to mute the welcome sound when you switch on your computer. It comes with numerous interesting features. It can be used to automatically mute sound on logoff , suspend or shutdown so that whenever the system starts next time ,it is mute. The next system start is absolutely silent even if you forgot to turn the sound off in previous session. After that you can enable sound effects manually, using a shortcut combination. You an also use the keyboard shortcut to enable or disable mute operation while working normally.

The default shortcut provided is ctrl+f10 but the key can be configured. The only other options provided by the volume control software are to run the program during startup and to play a computer beep sound whenever the state of the sound changes from mute to on and vice verse.

The software is portable for Windows and is supported in Win7 as well as Win Vista.
