Volumouse v2.10

Andrew Lee on 6 Sep 2022
  • 98KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 5 Sep 2022
  • Suggested by Local

Volumouse allows you to control a several system settings with the scroll wheel of your mouse including volume, screen brightness, window transparency, and more. These can be attached to certain events such as when a specific application is in focus or when the mouse is in a certain position (over the taskbar, on the side of the screen, etc.)

The program also allows you to restrict the wheel action to a set of rules for determining when it can changesettings. You can for example use your right mouse wheel, alt/ctrl key, etc. Volume settings for microphone, speakers, and default recording can be attached to any different combination of these.

Runs on:Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8
Writes settings to: Application folder
Dependencies:
  • Wheel mouse & Sound card
  • Administrator rights (Vista/Win7)
Stealth: ? Yes
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch volumouse.exe.
What's new?
  • Volumouse now uses completely different method to hook the mouse wheel events. This change has multiple advantages:
  • It fixes the problem with the taskbar of Windows 11.
  • It fixes the problem with the trackbar indicator on Windows 10.
  • There is no need for the hook DLL anymore (vlmshlp.dll)
  • volumouse is just a single .exe file that works with both 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
  • Mouse over the title bar - Updated to work properly with non-standard title bars (Like in Chrome, Firefox, and Explorer windows of Windows 10/11)

So lucky to have this. My Lenovo machine has poor volume control buttons that frequently ignore input depending on what application is in focus. Volumouse meanwhile doesn't care: I have the left button + scroll wheel mapped to slowing increasing/decreasing the sound and the right button + scroll wheel mapped to mute and un-mute. Just excellent.

Especially like that it only takes up a little over a meg of RAM.

Volumouse is my default program for about two yaers already.
Thanks to the author.

Despite being very handy Volumouse lacks very important feature for me - preset volume levels. I need 11 of them - 1 (100%), 1/2 (50%), 1/2^2 (25%), ..., 1/2^9 (0.195%) and 0. Now I found Volume2. Don't sure whether it can be completely registry-stealth or not (uses HKCU/Run for autorun), at least it saves Config.ini to its folder.
Goodbye Volumouse.
P.S. Still using NirCmd "nircmdc setsysvolume xxxxx" by lnk-files in start-programs menu for setting volume w/o mouse.

@robzuc: see 'What is "portable"' on the "about" page: https://www.portablefreeware.com/about.php Not leaving stuff behind is not "stealth" in the parlance here, and uTorrent works fine when moving from machine to machine and saves your settings.

Peter202 on 2019-05-17 14:49

After i extracted uTorrent.exe 3.5.5 with 7-zip in the extracted folder there are couple of .dll files. Are they needed? Can i delete them?

billon on 2019-05-17 20:35

@Peter202:

No, only file you need is Carrier.exe renamed to uTorrent.exe
And created settings.dat

I am back for more important informations.

---

I have told you that the original emule client has over 55 special modifications - some have over 100 new features. But there are exists also bad programmers who know a filesharer cant go to the police. Here are my warnings and support for you.:

-- Dangerous Emule Mods ---

1.) Ketamine and eMCrypt - after a while you must pay money for the client.

2.) eMule v0.30e 1.x,FutureMule, PowerMule and eMule 0.47a Pro Gold Version - cost money with backdoors and spyware.

--- Secure excellent Emule Mods ---

X-Ray, StulleMulle. Sivka and MorphXT.

On this site you could study all the new features for this 4 emule Mods with a higher speed and security level.:

http://wiki.emule-web.de/index.php/Category:Features

Another great one is MorphXT.:

http://emulemorph.sourceforge.net/

Any of them are works perfect with a pendrive / USB stick. Btw. i do not recommned to use emule clients from USA - please use only the famous Mods from brasilia, germany, french and china / taiwan.

Ubelievable! Today i saw over 3 million user with 937,820,160 files. Plain folly! It look likes P2P is with no law, no public exposure or any other aggressions stoppable. 30 % of all data traffic in this world is P2P - at saturday night 70% in germany.

thanks - good luck

PS.: Interesting is also the eMule v0.48a ROCKFORCE Mod v1.3 with Encryption (AES 256 bit) for File-Transfers.

Dear P2P kids,

hi i am back. This is a police secret. Listen! Any emule creates a unique hash identity. This hash is always the same no matter what kind of emule modification you use because its made by your networkcard with his unique MAC.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

Dear P2P kids,

the police know it if you are online. Always. You must change at any time your hardware MAC address at your networkcard / adapter. This is possible with software or look at your networkcard features.

summarization

- use ipfilter.dat

- use obfuscation connection

- use emule- / kadmods

- activate only the kad network

- never ever use a ed2k server

- i2p works but makes it very slow

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P

- change your ethernet networkcard MAC per software or over networkcard driver in hardware manager

- never ever use british / us-american emule clients

- dont share to much / the police dont hunt ppl with only 3 illegal mp3 or 2 movies because the jurisdictional amount is not high enough

kids! good luck!

btw.: the elite and high professionel filesharer works actually only with filehoster's (russia, easteurope, china, southamerica, sweden) and enciphered packers.

http://peazip.sourceforge.net/
http://freearc.org/

a police professional.: "actually the ppl which use international filehoster with encrypted zipfiles are not under our control but we could catch any P2P user ..."

v0.6.2 QT5 does not run on xp because QT5 does not support xp anymore

XP users must use the accompanying v0.6.2 QT4 version

Forgot to mention the portable version is now chosen from the installer

@ozziguy: Looks like they're still offering the portable 7zip version, and it's 20% smaller. I'll go ahead and list both. Thanks for the note.

I agree with User2100. This is a very fast launching player with a very small footprint, but the lack of a time slider is a big issue.
