How to Get My Bluetooth Places Icon

Computers that are Bluetooth-enabled contain a Bluetooth adapter used to connect wirelessly to other Bluetooth-enabled devices. Both devices must be in close range to establish a connection. Keyboards, cell phones and pocket PCs are examples of devices that can connect to a computer using Bluetooth technology. My Bluetooth Places is a utility in Windows that manages Bluetooth connections. To make the utility readily accessible, add a Bluetooth Places icon in the system tray by configuring the options in the Bluetooth Devices window.

Instructions

1. Click "Start," then "Network and Internet."

2. Click "Change Settings for a Bluetooth enabled device" under "Bluetooth Devices."

3. Click the "Options" tab in the Bluetooth Devices window, then click the check box next to "Show the Bluetooth icon in the notification area." Click "Apply," then "OK."
