i just got Widcomm bt stack to work and i cant figure out how to get rid of the MS stack icons in both the today tray and the connectgions control panel. any ideas? how does one also disable the ms stuff too?
The MS Bluetooth icon in the tray should go away if you simply delete the registry entry "HKLM\BTIcon" and do a soft reset. Word on my Magician at least ...

Hi, I'm going to be setting some of these phone up for business, and have decided that we don't want the users to have access to the bluetooth functionality. I would like a way of removing/Hiding bluetooth (or at least the icons for it) so the users cannot easily re-enable it.
Anyone know how this could be done?
Thanks
Hi,
Hope your customers wont visit this forum
Ok, open your registry editor and delete the following branches:
1. A 'BT hardware not found' message will be shown at each attempt to enable Bluetooth
DELETE:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth]
2. BT icon removal
DELETE:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTIcon]
3. BT shortcuts (optional)
Add int-type (number) value "Hide" with "1" as its data value to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Bluetooth]
and create "HKLM\ControlPanel\MyCpl\Bluetooth Settings" key & add int-type value "Enable" with "0" as its data
Thanks for that SP, i've got some of it working: I've tried all three things you listed
I have removed the 'tray icon' from the front screen at the bottom, and also removed the icon from settings->connections.
However I still seem to have the 'Blue tooth headset mode' icon on the front screen and the Bluetooth Settings Icon in settings->system. Any ideas on how to remove these?
Thanks for any help
all items in settings are cpl files in the windows dir
see if you can delete the cpl file which is named something like bluetooth
about the today item then there is also a place in the reg's where they are handled as in which ones are display'd on the list you can check or uncheck
but why remove bluetooth ?
it's not like they cant just install it themselfs
unless you mess with the extented rom they will get their bluetooth back after next hardreset
education may be cheaper than trying to turn the bluetooth off.
Faking users...

Try this utility. It does aforementioned PLUS disables headset mode on Today screen
To prevent BT enabling over hard-resets replace your original TPEnable.exe with this one. Don't forget to unlock your extended ROM first
ps: 'BT Settings' shortcut is a HTC-specific one and can't be removed easily
What danger do they pose by having Bluetooth? :roll:
BlueJacking?
if they are mobile,some may need it for headsets???
Thanks SP! that works really, well, and with BT disabled, I can live with the one icon left in system. I'm not going to alter the extended rom, as the only people who should be doing the hard resets are the tech support team.
Do you have the registry entries for removing the bluetooth headset item from the today screen?
Today removal

You're welcome!
Here it is:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\Profile]
And leave this one:
[HKLM\ControlPanel\MyCpl\Bluetooth Settings:Enable] = 0
Maybe HTC will revise their code & fix the bug in the future, so the following will work then and will disable 'BT Settings'
After installing WA2/WAD trial versions, I have lost the bluetooth icon in the bottom tray. After removing the programs, the icon has not reappeared. Does anyone know how to get the icon back?
Ya I'm getting the same problem too...
Sometimes soft reset will fix it, but there must be a better way....
This is a common problem due to many process many programs and today plugin loaded at yr magician boot from soft-reset. reduces # of startup process and today plugin will solve the problem. I use a program called "No Plugins today" solve my problem.
Do a search in this forum and U should found more detail
Due to long trying and experimenting with my bt gps i lost my shortcut of TT 5 on my today page. Is there anyone who can tell me how to put it back on, beaucouse when i want to start tt5 it's almost impossible to navigate the start menu with my fingertips.
I've allready tried to fix the problem with "settings/today/items", but Tomtom wasn't in the list anymore.
TT 5 starts perfectly from my startmenu, but i want my shortcut back.
Is there anyway who can tell me to solve this :?:
I've got a vario, and am currently running tomtom Nav5.21 on my ipaq, once i get hold of a bluetooth antenna, tomtom will be going on the vario.
This is not an uncommon problem with tomtom. There are however 2 ways arround your problem.
First way is to download the v5.21 patch from the tomtom website and re-install the .cab file, this will mean that tomtom is brought back to its origional settings. And the shortcut will re-appear on the screen.
If you have in any way customised the settings, you may have to set them up again (for example if you are familiar with tomtom, you'll have to turn off the guided tour stuff.) However things like any stored favorites or POI's will be unaffected by doing this, and will show up just like they did before.
The otherway is to go into start > settings > Personal > Buttons. From there you can re-assign one of the buttons to always start up tomtom, or indeed any application you want.
For example on my vario, button 5 is the Comm manager that allows me to turn on and off the wifi / bluetooth. As there is already a little icon at the bottom of the today screen that opens the comm manager I'll be reassigning the button to start TomTom.
In the TTN 5.1 update package are (if i remember correct) 3 cab files. One is just the Today plugin, you can tell it by its name
From TTN 5.21 onwards the plugin is IN the main cab, so you cant use this trick with that one.
the Todayplugin is the same for both versions
Alternatively you can use the HTCTODAY plugin i have modified (in 3 flavours) search on the forum.
Code:
use the HTCTODAY plugin
Searched for that, and this is the only post found.
Is there any way to remove the t-zones icon from the tray box above the softkeys because i do not use t-zones and i always accidently click it on my wing
from http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172596&page=3&pp=15&highlight=remove+t-zones+icon
*Tray icons
-Edit registry as follows:
[HKLM\init]
Launch92=
(delete TrayAp.exe)
-Or, if you want to keep some but not all of the icons:
[HKLM\Software\HTC\TrayApplet]
There you'll find listings for each icon (the folders are for the WinWap, MyFaves, and CommManager tray icons). Remove the ones you don't want and soft reset. If you remove the music player settings, you will then have to uncheck the plug-in from Today items.
yeah i tried that but still the t-zone icon is still in the tray
Does anyone know of a good *FREE* registry editor for the wing? Thanks in advance.
I use one called mobile registry editor:
http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
works great so far on both tmobile MDA and Wing although you'll have to install the microsoft .net framework.
registry edit did not work any suggestions?
Heres what I do
I dont like those little guys there.
it is.
HKLM> Software> HTC> Initial Tray
you can remove any one individually, I just leave on the battery and the device lock,
good free reg edit is PHM regedit
Hello,
since last week my HTC touch suddenly shows a bluetooth icon in the top display line when BT is on. I had BT on always before, and no icon. Since the first line is already crammed with connection, speaker and battery icon, I'd like to hide the BT icon. I have searched the net to no avail. Does anyone here have a hint for me?
Thanks.

Well.
I have the identical issue.
This is a windows mobile programming issue, so we cant really 'modify' it, unless someone knows an app or an registry hack.
As I have learned: the Bluetooth Icon is only displayed when the special HTC dialer is active. My problem: I very much dislike the appearance of the standad dialer
try deleting the icon, its bluetooth.bmp in windows folder, but may be its write protected and you have to use resco explorer or something
