How to Create a Shortcut or Hotkey to Mute, Increase and Decrease System Volume & more in Windows



Keyboard Shortcut


Create the Shortcut



Right-click on the desktop and choose New \ Shortcut from the menu.
In the location box, you’ll want to browse down to the location of where you saved nircmd.exe, and then add “mutesysvolume 2” as arguments. You’ll probably want to put quotes around the path to the executable, like this:

C:\nircmd\nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 2



Give the shortcut a useful name like “ vMute”, and then open up the properties of the shortcut. Here you can assign a shortcut key (ctrl + *).




And you can change the icon like it.
