VolumeTouch: Adjust your PC volume with your mouse
Here's how it works, you hit the Ctrl+Shift buttons and then move your mouse scrollwheel up and down to adjust the volume. If you don't like those button combos, you can choose a different key combination, or choose a different mouse behavior. VolumeTouch lets you control the volume by moving the mouse up and down or left and right as well.
You can also choose one of 5 skins for the tray icon. Some skins look better than others, but each gives you a real time view of your volume level.

Tried it. It's nifty but I dun like the taskbar icons. It screams Windows 2000.

Me uses Volumouse [http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/volumouse.html]
Press the left mouse button and move the scrollwheel up or down. You can control how quickly it increases/decreases.

I also use VoluMouse, and it is perfect for my needs.

I use ctrl+shift to change the keyboard's language :\

I installed this, and thought to myself, "Why doesn't my laptop have hotkeys for doing this very thing?"
Then I realised it did, and I hadn't been looking hard enough. I uninstalled it about 45 seconds later.
Seemed erm, decent enough.

@InTeGeR:
I use Volumouse as well. I have mine set to scroll when the pointer is over the taskbar. Excellent app.

I'm just letting everyone know that this doesn't work in Vista.
Also, is there anything similar that does work in Vista?

What a useless piece of clutter code! Why would I want to go through the steps of pressing ctrl + shift + scroll, when I can simply single click the default volume icon + scroll? Or better yet, just press the up/down hotkeys on my keyboard?
I wonder how many noobs installed this thing before realizing that they can perform these functions just as easy (or easier) without installing additional code?
Always remember to think before you install!
LOL

Because when I use some full screen application, like a game, I wont like to go to desktop and press on volume button etc.. I'd like to change volume without leaving the game :)
Did u think about that. nOOb? :)

I use AutoHotkeys to get this functionality so I don't have to run yet another program.
