Hey all

So I am enjoying Vista home premium on my W3J pretty much flawlessly at this point except for one minor problem. No matter what setting I leave my blue tooth in using the on/off button on the right of my W3J, it is always "on" when after I've turned off or rebooted my computer. As a result the icon always shows up on the task bar and its annoying. It's easy enough to just hit the button and turn it back off but I'm curious, why doesn't it just stay off? I'd like to make it so if I turn it off, it will remain off the next time I boot my W3J. Any advice would be appreciated.

@ Ramzie: You use Vista? Are you sure that you have installed all of the ATK drivers and the wireless console?

I had that problem twice in XP with the wireless manager. An unistall and reinstall of the program solved the issue for me.
