I was learning how to use applescript for a couple of days.

So heres the thing, isn't it frustrating to change your macs volume to max at startup every time? Well, with this placed in your startupitems folder it should make it automated.

Just place this in /System/Libary/StartupItems.

What exactly does this script do? I only see one line of code, "set volume 10".

Sorry, I had a brain freeze and thought that you were talking about a partition volume, not the audio volume lol

Ive got the same kind of thing running at my office. We have 4 different volumes that all need to be mounted on startup... Its a fairly simple Applescript... I have all my users have it as a start up item and also keep it in their dock in case of disconnects.

tell application "Finder"
mount volume "afp://username:passwordIPaddress/volumename"
end tell

just open script editor, copy and paste this into it, and fill in your specific info
Then compile it and save as an application.
