My laptop does not have a button to tune the volume level or mute it.
This is annoying, when the phone rings I wave to do too many clicks in a hurry to turn the volume down before answering the phone.
But that laptop has keys that can be programmed to run any commands (it is an Acer Aspire 3630).
Which commands can I use to set the volume to 0.
The answer I would like would be something like:
c:\Program Files\something\manage-sound.exe 0
And I would rather not install any software to do that.
Thanks for your help, I tried google and I did not find ...

I said my computer, so I don't want to use external speakers. It would be a solution for a desktop (and I do it), but not for a laptop.

having the volume icon in the task bar does not work for me.
When you ar in full screen mode you have to go out of full screen, then click on volum icon, then click on the mute button.
The solution I want is a windows command line that mutes the audio.
Then I'll assign it to a programmable key and I'll be happy

Requires no installation, just a tiny exe file which mutes and unmutes the volume when run. It has commandline options for setting the volume as well, but you won't need them.
I love it :)

You don't need to go through this.
Just go into 'Control Panel' and go to 'Sounds and Audio Devices'. From there, click 'Place volume icon in the taskbar'.
Now, you will have a little volume icon in your taskbar (bottom right), and you can single-click that and click mute.
Oh, and your keyboard might have an option other than cmd line to mute the sound, explore it's software more.

How about using speakers at your desk with volume buttons?
