The little yellow speaker in the lower-right of the screen, next to the clock (the clock can be removed by right-clicking and selecting Properties, by the way), lets you display the volume control by clicking on it.
For those of us who have volume controls elsewhere, or simply do not need to repeatedly change the volume, there is a way to remove the icon.
- Open Control Panel by selecting Settings from the Start menu.
- Double-click on the Sounds and Multimedia icon (it's just called Multimedia in Windows 95/98.
- Under the Audio tab, in the Playback section, turn off the Show volume control on the taskbar option.
- Click OK.
