So my questions to all of you who read this is, how do you stop Windows/Antivirus/website sounds making a mess of your precious music?
My concrete problem is, that I've got my headphone amplifier installed without a volume pot and that I wouldn't want getting my head blown off by some strange popups etc.
But when I shut down XXHE I want to use my Laptop as a normal can-do-all laptop with sounds and all.
Does anyone has any suggustions? Is it enough to just turn off the volume control in the task bar?

Greetz Ava

PS:thank you Peter and the Hotkeys are working all, this idea was superb!

Thank you Ava ...

My little contribution (FWIW) :

Why would you ever want to listen to these Windows sounds at using the PC outside of XX useage ? I don't and it really doesn't bother me.

Em, good one, have to think about this one.
But did you disable all windows sound (notifications, IE sounds etc)? And could that be reversed?

right click speaker icon
left click "sounds"
uncheck "Play Windows Sounds" at the bottom
create a "no sounds" scheme in Sound Schemes near the top
Now you can choose between schemes....
