842508 2009-12-23 04:02:00 Hi, All. I am running XP. Often my kids will have been playing something with volume attached and they have the VC wound up. They finish, turn off and then when I start up first thing in the morning (or sometimes in the middle of the night), I am blasted by the Windows sound or something else, which also distrubs other dwellers.

Is there a way of ensuring that the VC is set to 'Mute' or no volume, on shutdown automatically, or automatically on start up, which doesn't rely on my kids doing it?

Cheers.
