    quick question, should I disable the bluetooth and wireless lan programs that are active on my Task Bar?

    I'm not in many area's that I can take advantage of wireless feature and I could always start it up if I need to.

    There's another icon there for "discover" don't need that either.

    msconfig is where they are located, right?

    Thx

    You can just turn off the bluetooth and the WiFI by selecting off on the Vaio wireless controller. It is a black icon in your task bar.

    You can disable Wireless and Bluetooth if you don't use them often. Yes, msconfig allows you to disable programs from startup.

    There is a black button on the front side that is moved to the off position so I guess that's not the one.

    Ok, guess i'll disable them in msconfig start up.

    Thanks guys.
