My Bluetooth Places on Desktop won't go away

Published on January 24, 2006 By MichaelG04_NEW In

so i have all system icons on my desktop hidden using tweakui. but, My Bluetooth Places still shows up when iconX is active. if i turn off iconx, then it's not there as it should be. how can i have iconX not display this icon?

thanks

Take a look at the *.items in your IconX directory and see if the bluetooth item is there. Delete it (after making a backup).

It really was a shot in the dark. I have a blank *.icons file and a *.items file that contained an old desktop icon.

Sorry it didn't help

My Blue Tooth Places or Bluetooth Information Manager ( dell) will shop up when your computer is booted and your bluetooth device is activated. Turn off your bluetooth to get rid of it.

I believe, because it is summoned by your hardware status, it will always be sitting on top of whatever Object Desktop is doing

Never mind, I found a reg key under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Desktop/Name Space for the My Bluetooth Places icon and exported (in case I needed to reinsert) it and then deleted it. That seems to have fixed the problem entirely

that is true, but i think u forget that, the icon is only showing up when iconx is on, if it's off, the icon isn't there. also, my bluetooth is off, but once u set up a device, u always have that, u don't have to have the device turned on to have the icon there.
