Actually, this is my old idea of software for people who have small children, but nobody wants to make such tool for years. So if you want to have something you cannot buy, do it by yourself :)
Hope this program will be helpful to many people. If you need additional feature or know how to improve this sound control software let me know.

Good job! Our team have awarded Auto Mute with a five star award. Thanks.
This software doesn`t work. The sound icon changes to the mute symbol when the computer switches off and when the computer re-boots the sound icon is still saying off.
However, there is still sound. It doesn`t mute the sound at all. I`m using Win XP / SP3.
to sky:
If the sound icon shows that sound is disabled, it should be muted. If you still hear some sound, it is a bug in your sound driver. What computer do you use and what sound card is installed?
Turned off sound after reboot - that's the way software works. You may turn the sound on manually, using a shortcut for example. Ctrl+F10 by default.
If you want to remove only logon/logoff sound, just edit windows sound scheme in the control panel. But this will not help you to turn off Skype or ICQ messages, and other sound notifications.
Thanks, but really, this does not work. I`ve tried it on 2 laptops now, both running Win XP SP3. One a Dell, the other a HP.
It switches the icon to mute on shutdown, but when the comp reboots the sound is still enabled, even with the icon showing as mute. Nothing to do with sound card drivers.
Pity as this is a great idea.
I also should have mentioned that when I shutdown, I see the icon change to mute, but the windows shutdown sound is still heard.
3 ASUS Notebooks, one desktop computer, all under Windows XP SP3 - works fine.
Also this software has been tested by my friends - works everywhere.
What do happen with your computers if you mute volume manually, using Windows environment?
If I click the sound icon and enable/disable the sound it works fine. If I click the sound button on the front of my Dell it works fine. If I download any other software that enables/mutes the sound, it works fine.
Out of curiosity I tried it on my 3rd laptop last night, which is a Fujitsu Siemens. Didn`t work on that either.
Tried this tool on my desktop computer and on laptop (both running Windows XP Pro SP3) - works just great.
I can only assume that some other software I have is causing this to fail.
No worries, I`ll see if I can find something else.
I think it is some software/drivers conflict indeed.
What sound/multimedia relative utility do you use on all your computers?
Auto_Mute wants to run two instances of itself at start up.
Also, how do I uninstall this software as there is nothing in Add or Remove listed.
Compal EL80
XP pro
oh found it, just delete the original download. Now it seems to be removed.
