    I'm used to other Dell laptops that have the wireless switch configurable either in the BIOS or via QuickSet.

    My question is how/where do I configure what the "touch" wireless button turns on and off? I'd like it if it didn't turn off my BT when I touch it.

    Thanks.

    I don't think there is such an option. The wifi button on the touch panel strip turns off all wireless devices (bt+wifi). When it is turned on you can turn off the BT by right clicking the icon in the taskbar and select turn off adapter. If you want wifi off and bt on you will have to do it manually by disabling the device in Network&Sharing center.
