    I've no BT software installed aside from drivers and Windows' native BT management. I can turn the adapter on/off by right clicking the icon in the sys tray. This removes/adds the device from/to device manager.

    Is there any way I could create a shortcut to do this?
    Either a rainmeter skin triggering something or a superbar link would be awesome :cool:

    You can if you which process name (id) the BT app is calling. I would look into the start-up process for the correct name. Then write a command line for it then put it in a shortcut.

    cheers ...

    The nifty Windows Mobility Center might allow you to turn it on and off. Hit windowskey+x to open it.
