In reply to Sudip. Hi. There's another way to disable the icon like using the registry or "services"? I don't want apps that runs in background taking resources.

In reply to ZXED. Hello ZXED, yes your tool does what you mentioned in your comment. However, what I mentioned in the article, is also true. Windows users can use your tool to hide the on-screen volume indicator using it. So, I don't think that it is a "misconception". Rather, that is an additional thing that can be done using Volume Step Adjuster.

Hello, I’m the author of Volume Step Adjuster and I want to address some misconceptions in this article:
1) Hiding On-screen Volume Indicator was never an intended purpose of VSA. It hides it by accident.
2) You should not run VSA via volstep.exe. Use volstep_START.bat. It launches the app and puts it in autorun automatically.
3) Before running volstep_START.bat you may edit it and change VOLUME_STEP variable to change a volume step from 2% or 1% to any other value. Read README.DIZ for more instructions.
4) To stop VSA, use volstep_STOP.bat, not Task Manager. This .bat file stops the app gracefully and removes it from autorun.

Anyway, thanks for mentioning my app on your website!
