    I forget what the icon was called in XP, but it was a small green square with LAN on it, down on the lower right by the battery icon, clock etc. When you activate it, you can choose the WiFi speed, and whether or not to turn on the Bluetooth.

    Well, it's missing in Vista. The Bluetooth is active all the time. Yes, is is just a minor annoyance, small (?) DRAIN on the battery... would like to have the ability to turn off that drain.

    I've gone through the OSMigration web page, downloaded and reinstalled anything that looks like it would do the trick with no joy.

    Anyone??
