| 303662 | 2004-12-16 04:14:00 | I have Win XP pro and installed the bluetooth logitech Di Novo keyboard/mouse, but can't get rid of the 'my bluetooth places' icon on desktop. When I right click on it the options are Open, explore, new place, create shortcut... no delete option! Any helpful suggestions? I have also tried looking in the desktop settings but that only shows the my comp, recycle icons etc. PS, nice squeeky clean forum layout... well done guys :) |

| 303663 | 2004-12-16 04:20:00 | but can't get rid of the 'my bluetooth places' icon on desktop. Is it actually on the desktop? Or in the notification area (system tray)? Mike. |

| 303664 | 2004-12-16 04:20:00 | Have a look in Desktop Properties and click on the Customise Desktop button - if you cant remove it there you can always use TweakUI to remove it easily. :) | HadO (796) | ||
| 303665 | 2004-12-16 04:23:00 | Thanks guys, yes it's on the desktop as well as task bar. I'll dig out tweakUI and hopefully that will fix it. |

| 303666 | 2004-12-16 04:26:00 | TweakUI will get it off the desktop - the taskbar icon will probably have to stay. | HadO (796) | ||
| 303667 | 2004-12-16 04:29:00 | TweakUI will get it off the desktop - the taskbar icon will probably have to stay. Control Panel > Bluetooth Devices gives an option for showing or not showing the icon in the system tray. I don't have one on my desktop though, so I'm not sure how to remove it. Mike. |

| 303668 | 2005-01-02 14:48:00 | 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 too, it's that easy. :thumbs: | hydraulic_matt (6554) | ||
| 303669 | 2009-03-17 05:50:00 | The icon is super frustrating... even more so when you realize that its pretty simple to remove it!! Just follow this - - right click on the desktop and select properties - then on desktop tab click Customize Desktop - then on general tab, click Clean Desktop Now icon - select My Bluetooth Places icon, then finish wizard. - A folder called Unused Desktop Icons will be created on the desktop with the My Bluetooth Places icon in it. - Delete this folder - Wallah!!! |

I wish I'd read the date before I started getting pleased that a former PF1 friend had returned. Shortcircuit left the forum in December 07 after getting fed up with us - or rather the post deluge from a member who banned then. (The olds here know who I mean) Shortcircuit was missed by many of us.. And I thought he'd come back... Edit: There are supposed to be a row of "frownies" here. |
