Removing Bluetooth Icon From Control Panel (XP Home SP2)

#1 January 4th 05, 11:09 PM

I have just installed a bluetooth dongle but should have installed the driver
that came with it before plugging it in! i have removed the drivers in the
device manager and have disabled the inf/pnf files in the inf folder in
windows but am left with the task of trying to remove the bbluetooth icon
from the control panel.

Can anyone help???

Thanks.

'When the transceiver is unplugged, Windows will remove the Bluetooth
Radios category in Device Manager, but the Bluetooth Devices icon will
remain in Control Panel.'
