The video explaining this new feature is great.

Obviously I did not intend to post this video. However it is impossible to change the embedded YouTube video once the comment is sent.

@oneshot719: Simple and awesome, thanks for sharing.

"You might have to use the Windows Compatibility Mode feature set to Windows XP to get it to work properly on Windows 7."

@S@ndman: Muting in MonitorES (previously featured on Lifehacker) only works on Windows XP...

@oneshot719: Care to share the code?

@Swimatm: Cats!
