I dont have the solution you are looking for but this should also work depending on the type of keyboard he has. If he's using a windows keyboard there a two key combination that will mute the sound. Its as quick and easy as the mouse click you're looking for. Just hold down the windows key and then press the "V" key. This should mute the sound. the same combination unmutes it.

Hope this helps

If you want the best way to do this and the easyest maybe even the chepest for the customer, go buy a nice mutimedia keyboard with a volume control set of buttons and a mute button the user might even like the other features the keyboard would offerand it would only cost about 40 dollars instead of the customer having to spend the labor writing a vb app to do it.

Getting a multi media keyboard would do the trick. If the user is using Microsoft media player they can press F8 to mute. F9 lower F10 to rise
