I have this problem, that my sister always lowers the volume on her account so the changes also affect me. Ad I have to then higher the volume on my account every single time. This has become really annoying.

Is there away so I can stop this from happening? Like my sister can keep her volume how she wants and I can have a different volume. Or just preventing access to her volume control so she can't lower the volume.

Please help?
Thanks!

Btw, I am running Windows XP Home SP2.

1) Ask her to stop doing it
2) Use the volume level on your speakers
3) If you were using a Mac you could just make a simple Applescript to automatically reset the volume to the required level when logging in and out of different users accounts. Dunno if you can do that on a PC.

A small vb script would probably do it.

Else you could use the group policy no doubt to just remove her access to it

(and alot of other stuff;))

group policy editor only exists in XP Pro as far as I know. There should be something like this for a real multi-user system, but I am not sure if there is.

if you're running xp home (ugh!) or a previous windows version, pretty sure you could have someone define he policy then copy it over.. check out the MS website as they often have these things buried away in the support base or technet articles/discussions.
