pesky blue tooth icon

[brian]

OK i need help. for some reason my blue tooth is all messy. the icon on the desktop just says blue tooth places but no icon. and no matter what i cant delete it it is so annoying. i went into cmd prompt and it does not exist. i highlight it and hit Del does not delete i move it to the trash does not allow it. it is making me so mad. any suggestions?

Did you try rebooting, or pressing F5 on your desktop?

same problem here mate, just like the stinking Sony Ericsson file manager, it simply won't delete, ive tried several ways of removing it from the desktop but to no avail so i just leave it there

try deleting the shortcut from safe mode, if tht doesnt work, try deleting it thru dos

safe mode wont work too (at least my case)

 

[adarsh]

how abt dos? u could navigate to the desktop and delete the shortcut. im not sue, but its worth a try

yeah I have the exact same problem....

 

[patrickv]

trying..
i think the path is too long.
so i used dos and CD to my desktop and say "del C:\Documents and Settings\Patrick\Test.ink" and it gave me an error
(i renamed the bluetooth thingy to test)

and i got "The system cannot find the path specified"

 

[adarsh]

navigate to desktop via dos and type dir... find the file and try deleting it now

i was making a mistake instead of typing test.Ink, i type test.ink
, yes capitals and smalls does matter..lol

 

[adarsh]

so its deleted?

 

[patrickv]

so its deleted?

nopes, both of them remains, Bluetooth and SonyEricsson FM, darn it, leave it be

 

[adarsh]

but wht does it say when u try deleting? are the files protected from deletion or sumthin?

 

[patrickv]

no, file does not exist, see picture, take a closer look and you'll see that there's OPERA.INK in the dos "dir" list but not TEST.INK, so that means shorcuts like opera or anyother we create can be deleted but not those

 

[patrickv]

sorry the picture shud read TEST.INK, i always make mistakes..lol

 

[adarsh]

rite, dunno , cant help dude, sorry

 

[brian]

yes. it will not see this file. it is invisable in cmd. i do dir. not there. any other suggestions welcome
