It works fine on my computer. Windows XP with a Soundmax sound card. The shortcut that is executed by the Ctrl-Alt-M key command should be x:\dir\mute.exe off where x = the drive letter where the program is located dir = the folder where the mute.exe program is located
With the shortcut setup like this, the only function the program will perform is to turn the mute OFF (turn the sound back on). If you don't put any parameter after the mute.exe command, the program will function in the toggle mode. The only thing I ever want the program to do is to turn the mute off, that's why I use the OFF parameter.
