    There are four menus on the main window: File (Alt+F), Record (Alt+K), Options (Alt+O) and Help (Alt+H). The Record menu opens with Alt+K rather than Alt+R because Alt+R is already used by the Receive audio checkbox on the main window. The menu's title is shown as “Record (Alt+K)” so you can find the shortcut even though there is no K in the word.

    24. The lock-screen service (send only)

    + +

    Normally RemSound runs as an app you open and close. The lock-screen service is a second, silent way to run it: a Windows service that keeps sending this machine's audio to your peers even when the screen is locked, when you have signed out, and when nobody is logged in at all (for example after an unattended restart). It is useful when a machine needs to stream its audio continuously without someone sitting at it.

    Setting it up

    Everything lives in the Service menu on the menu bar:

      +
    1. Configure service profile… — opens a small window with three tabs (Audio send, Audio profile, Connectivity) where you choose what to send, how to send it, and who to send it to, plus a password. This is a separate profile from your normal ones and does not appear in the usual profile list. There is no “send my audio” switch because the service always sends. The Additional options button lets you turn the connect/disconnect sounds and the service's own log on or off.

    2. Install service — registers it with Windows so it starts automatically at every boot. Windows asks for administrator permission (one prompt). Do this once.
      3. +
    3. Start service / Stop service — run or halt it now without waiting for a reboot. Also administrator actions.
      4. +
    4. Uninstall service — removes it entirely.
      5. +

    The top of the Service menu always shows the current state: not installed, installed and running, or installed and stopped.
