How Can I Make Wireless More Accessible?
OK, I've got my iPAQ 211, my ThinkOutside Sierra Bluetooth Keyboard and my Pharos GPS Bluetooth dock, and I've created all my partnerships for them (and they both work just fine - in fact, the iPAQ can switch seamlessly between ThinkOutside's keyboard driver and the Built-in Keyboard driver). BTW, the keyboard is great, though the hardware hasn't changed at all since my iPAQ 3150 from a "few" years ago. I'm back to touch typing, including the numbers!
Now I'd just like to be able to not have to navigate through the inconvenient layers of menus and icons to get to the stinking bluetooth manager. Is there a way to get to it besides opening the "Bluetooth" icon in \Settings\Connections? Could I, for example, create a shortcut in Programs (and thereby assign it to a button)? If so, anybody interested in saving me the research to figure out how to do it?
As an aside, I just noticed an interesting behavior. If you open the Bluetooth icon (\Settings\Connections\Bluetooth) and select the "Bluetooth Manger" hotlink at the bottom of the screen (without first turning on the radio), the system automatically turns on the Bluetooth radio. Then if you exit out of Bluetooth Manager, the radio automatically turns off. That's kind of cool (and convenient). Has it always done that (ie, since WM5) and I just never tried that before?
