Thinkpads Forum

Since I recently did a clean install of Windows XP on my X41 I would like to have a clean windows desktop and I am never really using bluetooth and My Bluetooth Places can also be accessed through the start menu I would very much like to have the icon moved/deleted.

It isn't possible to just select and press delete, neither to drag it to the recycle bin and no right-clicking options help me.

Any suggestions?

I tried to search the forum for something useful but didn't find anything. I'm sorry if I missed some old threads about it.

grab a copy of tweakui from microsoft. I used it to remove the bluetooth places icon.

Anytime, tweakui is a great little program to have it can change a ton of little thingsin windows.

To Remove the "My Bluetooth Places" icon from desktop, simply right click on desktop and then go to properties/desktop/customize desktop/clean desktop now. Then tick the box: "My Bluetooth Places" and press next. The icon should then be in a folder called unused desktop items on your desktop. You can then delete the folder if you wish to.
