To control an environment for a computer's software execution appropriately to each software program to be executed by a computer. While a specific application program is executed, if a volume value, etc. of output voices/sounds are updated, it is confirmed whether to register updated values of the volume, etc. before those values are register ed in a volume setting data base so as to be corresponded to a class name of a currently executed application program (170 to 182). In addition, if a focused window on a screen is changed, the class name of the application program corresponding to a new window to be focused is obtained (156 to 162). If a volume value, etc. of the application program are already registered in a volume setting data base (YES in 164), the volume, etc. of the output voices/sounds are updated (166, 168).
