NirCmd does some cool things
Somebody told me that NirCmd was very cool. When I looked at it there
were so many command line params that I shied away from it. But when
trying to find a way to avoid the wav volume being bumped up every time
I logged onto XP I found that the easiest way to fix it was with NirCmd
Besides adjusting the audio volume some other cool things you can do:
You can let Imgburn eject after a burn and close the program window,
then close the drawer with this command:
nircmd cdrom close x:
where x: is the drive letter for the dvd drive
To avoid remembering the params you can just put the line in a file
in your Path named dvdclose.cmd or you can make a shortcut
with the line in the Target line of the shortcut.
Anyway, if you are having the same weird thing in XP where on bootup
the wave volume is up high and you keep having to adjust it, this NirCmd
.cmd file worked for me. Save the 2 lines to a file in your Path named
logout.cmd
nircmd setsysvolume 10000 waveout
nircmd.exe exitwin logoff
The number you use will vary depending on how high you have the
overall system volume and how much gain you have on your speakers.
But you can run the setsysvolume line with the master volume applet
open and watch where the sliders go as you change the number.
Just remember when you log off to type logout at a command prompt
or into Slickrun.
I gather the volume settings work a bit differently in Vista but
I didn't investigate because I don't get the loud logins with Vista.
NirCmd is free and very small and comes with a .chm help file with
plenty of examples. Another good thing about it is it works pretty
much the same in Windows NT 4 and later. Some features might not
work(such as setting window transparancy) unless you have XP
or Vista.

Then I have to fill the holes in with black dirt.
