I'm looking for a way to create a hotkey for volume control and volume mixer and even a program that will
work when i'm in a full screen program or game.

Computer type

OS
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
WMP - F8/F9 (affects in-app slider)
WMC - F9/F10 (affects sys tray slider)
VLC - mouse wheel, or ctrl + up/down arrow

when watching movies etc from the couch, I use a WMC remote whose volume button controls the sys tray volume slider, irrespective of what media player I'm using, (the app volume of VLC etc has to be up). The remote uses an IR usb gizmo.

A quick search says AutoHotKey might suit you, but I've not tried it.

Volume slider

Idk if that exists as it would have to tap into the volume mixer it self.

That is what i prefer as i want to lower volume of other programs running while i'm in a full screen program or game that i cannot select in full screen. Just pressing a key to show the main volume slider and then clicking
'Mixer' under to show all apps volume sliders will be okay.

Or some window to appear that i can click and open the mixer.

if you just want it to appear then do this setup with pinning it to the taskbar or using the file it self on a macro key. Windows 7 Audio Mixer - Alternative? - Super User
That does not work inside Total Media 3 tv tuner full screen app while i wan't to lower skype's volume to hear tv louder than Skype while talking to Skype also.
Never can make the volume sliders appearing while clicking the volume slider on the taskbar when in full screen mode with a app or game.

Taskbar is hidden. It doesn't work with hotkey either.

Oh yeah Total media 3 basically overrides all other inputs, I had that issue when I used it for blurays.
