Windows Hotkeys

I recently changed from using my speakers when playing games and music, to these brand new sennheiser headphones due to the request of an annoyingly ever-present female.

Problem is, my keyboard is not fancy, with all sorts of volume controls and cup-holders, and the headphones have no such thing built in.

My question hence, to you, my fellow forumites, is how canst one bind a hotkey in windows to increase/decrease/mute the volume?

All the cool people speaketh in ye owld victorian english.

    What version of windows? And what sound card? (some sound cards have these types of tihngs built into their control panels)

    Uh, yeah, you can. My friend's got it bound to a couple F keys plus control or something. I dunno how that works though. I'll ask him if I see him.

    I'm on windows XP, with an inbuilt realtek soundcard. I don't think it supports bindings.

    I was hoping for some non intrusive way like a simple reg-edit or whatever, but I suppose this will have to do. I blame you for any adware you may have caused. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad-fix.gif" />

    edit:
    Hey that rex controller is actually pretty minimal. Thanks!
