FINISED: Muting focused program with a key press

I think it would be possible to do this with AHK, but I'm not sure because I have no knowledge whatsoever about it. The idea is to mute the focused windows with a key press and unmute it after pressing the same key again, maybe using a key combination or one of the function keys.

skrommel:
 :) AppMute toggles the sound of the active app when F1 is pressed. If the desktop or taskbar is active, all sound is toggled.

It's a very quick hack, it uses the volume mixer in Windows 10.

Save the script as AppMute.ahk.
Download and Install AutoHotkey to run the script.

24.07.2017: Keeps SndVol.exe running to prevent fullscreen windows from restoring. Added menu option to show the volume mixer.
24.07.2017: Added user defined hotkey option.
25.07.2017: Removed the tooltip to prevent fullscreen windows from restoring.
30.07.2017: Changed the way SndVol.exe is handled, to stop it from showing up in Win7.

Phoenix232:
Thank you very much for that. It's gonna help me a lot.

Just a quick question: It minimizes some full screen programs, but I guess that's kind of expected. Would it be possible to not make it do that? Anyways, the program works perfectly. :D

skrommel:
Maybe the latest version is better? It minimizes the volume mixer window.

I've tried it with YouTube in full screen, and that works OK. What programs are you having problems with?

Yes, it works perfectly. Thank you very much. :DDDD

EDIT: It still minimizes games, for some weird reason.
