I've searched this site and two of the other big mobile ones and still not found the answer, which is why I am generating a new thread. I've seen plenty of suggestions, all of which failed. It is now driving me bananas, on a point of principle that is now bigger than the problem I was trying to solve.

I have a WM6 HTC Touch (dunno the alternative names of this model, Vogue?). The sound of the focus shutter is, as described on another thread (http://www.modaco.com/content/htc-niki-niki-modaco-com/266792/camera-shutter-noise/), loud enough to literally fetch the neighbours wondering what the noise is. It needs to be disabled or at least changed.

The camera Menu - Settings - Advanced has no sound disabling option.

I have tried, without sucess:

Pointing HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Common\SourceOfSnapSound from Snap.wav to a different .wav file. Bizarrely I don't even have a Snap.wav file in the Windows directory (even with Show All Files).

Changing Windows\Snap.wav to Windows\*none*

Changing HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\General\DisableShutterSound from 0 to 1

Changing HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Captparam\Volume from 5 to 0 and also 1

Where do I go next (other than only using the camera at football games)?

Out of interest, if you put the phone into silent mode, does it turn the noise off?

No.

The interesting thing is that all the other hacks and mods I've done have worked and been obvious, but this is like it's working under a different registry and hidden file system.
