You can't. Windows XP doesn't have per-application volume controls. Windows Vista will do, but not XP. Winamp does this by modifying the audio data it is sending to Windows.

store the user preferred volume (usually 0 [mute] - 10) and send/check this whenever you play sound. the exact code depends on what/how you are playing audio

Yes there is!! I installed K-Lite, and there is "MediaPlayer Classic" which came from K-Lite installation. To change the volume of MediaPlayer Classic does not affect WinXp overall volume. (Windows MediaPlayer and RealPlayer do.)

What Media Player Classic does is process the audio before it sends it to Windows to change its volume. Windows XP does not have individual volume controls per application - that is a new feature coming with Windows Vista.
