New to XP, a little help please.

Is there a way, (I'm sure there is) to place a volume
control button, on my taskbar? Or better yet, is there a
way to set up a mute button on my keyboard? My old
keyboard had a volume control on it, and it's hard
getting used to not having one. I play lots of games, and
it sure would be convenient, not to have to get up every
time, and turn off both sets of speakers, (surround
sound). Thx, in advance, for any help, Mark...

in the Control Panel[StartSettingsControl Panel...Sounds and Audio Devices has your preferences to choose

It's normally there by default, and most people want it removed,

Go to Control PanelSoundsVolume and check 'PLace volume icon in taskbar'
