    So I've got my NC10 US working pretty well with Vista - drivers and everything getting along... except for Bluetooth which I cannot disable unless I head into Device manager (big hassle). Any work around for this one? Using stock Vista bluetooth and separate driver doesn't work - no option in Bluetooth tray icon to disable.

    On another topic, is installing Samsung's SmartBattery over Vista's power tool recommended? I only have Ezdisplaymanager installed to reduce the bloat.

    Try the BTonOff utility discussed in this thread (which links to another thread, and so ad infinitum :D ).

    Try Windows + X. It brings up the mobility center where you can easily control many settings, including wifi on/off and probably bt on/off.

    Thanks for the BT app, though not as integrated as I hoped. Does this have to be applied on every boot?

    @Mark, Unfortunately that doesn't have any options for BT on/off although wifi is on it.

    And back to the battery app question >.>" Sammy Smart Battery manager recommended or leave it with Vista to deal with?
