| From all of the above conclusion is taken that the soundman.exe process needen't be launched on setup though some might exerience quality problems with there media players it is not a required process (can be manually started whenever it is needed)

 L.E.D.
| Although not needed when starting Winblows it's usefullness far exceeds other media icons in ther taskbar by allowing easy access to the following:
Sound Management,Mutimedia,Media Play,Sound Recorder,Volume Control and other MM programs if so desired.
