    Hey, made this .bat file for my HP computer since I don't like having bluetooth on constantly and there is no separate toggle to just shut it off without going into HP wireless assistant. I thought I'd share it here. Maybe not the best solution but I find it useful. Hope you do to.

    It assumes you have HP Wireless Assistant installed at the given location.

    I've posted a previous version of this somewhere on the forum but this is a bit updated.

    Code:
    @ECHO OFF
    mode con cols=15 lines=2
    cd "C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HP Wireless Assistant"
    IF EXIST bt.txt (
    del bt.txt
    Wireless Bluetooth off
    ECHO Bluetooth OFF
    ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 >NUL
    ) ELSE (
    echo BT > bt.txt
    Wireless Bluetooth on
    ECHO Bluetooth ON
    ping -n 2 127.0.0.1 >NUL
    )
    It checks if the file bt.txt exists in the folder
    if it exists it will delete it and turn bluetooth off and show "Bluetooth OFF" for ~2 seconds
    if it doesn't exist it will create it and turn bluetooth on and show "Bluetooth ON". for ~2 seconds

    Oh forgot, Copy code paste it into a text editor like notepad and save as "BT.bat" or something similar

    Could someone change the title to Bluetooth? :D

    Yeah I see no way to turn off bluetooth on my hdx16. Thanks for the share.
