You mean the icon for the program? That is not possible as far as I know, because which icon is shown in File Explorer or Start Menu is controlled by the Shell, not by the program itself.
Wouldn't the flashing blue light be sufficient to tell if bluetooth was enabled

I don't know how useful this will be but I thought I'd give it a shot. I've put together this small utility that switches on/off Bluetooth. There's no UI, but on my device it switches quite quickly.
Thing is, I don't know if it works with non-MS BT stack. So if anyone tried it, let me know the result.
I'm new to all of this, so how do I get it to work? I copied it over to my axim. How do I activate it?
Seems to work just fine. I have 2 feature requests though :)
1/ A 'me too' to the 'can it detect when bluetooth is needed...'?
2/ I would love to have this icon near the top of my axim, i.e. next to the speaker icon, the connection icon.. Possible?

1. I'm not sure about it yet. Looks very challenging to me (hey, I'm not a professional! )
2. I've considered this too. However, it looks like WM system itself contain such an icon, I just don't know when it is activated. Anyone know if is it for Phone Edition devices? In that case there wouldn't be conflict on the Axim.
Ok. Here's a version of BTSwitch that stay in the navigation bar at the top. There are two problems:
1. I don't have a device with MS BT Stack to test it with. It should work, but there's no guarantee.
2. For some reason, the installer refuses to register it in the Remove program list. I can't figure out what the problem is yet. So you'll have to manually do it if you want to uninstall:
There are 2 files in the \Windows folder: BTSwitch.exe and BTSwitchSvr.dll, 1 shortcut in the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. I suppose you'd have seen the shortcut.
Additionally there is a registry key created: HKCR\CLSID\{3E09681A-B124-42cc-8F61-255661C9DD72}, though it is not detrimental to have the key lingering around.
You may need to soft reset if the DLL is in use before you can delete it.
So, try it out and let me know the result.
Note: The program will turn off the BT when it is run.
I do not know if anyone has mentioned using \windows\BTCplCE.exe which comes standard on the X30 and if you make a shourtcut and place it in the \windows\start menu\programs\ menu you can then map it to a button.

If I'm not mistaken, the X30 is using Widcomm BT Stack. This utility is for MS BT Stack only, it will not work on Widcomm software.
Any chance of posting the individual files and regkey to test this on my device ? -- The original BTSwitch02 worked fine on my device btw :)
Ok...
There's one registry value to set:
Create a key HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\CLSID\{3E09681A-B124-42cc-8F61-255661C9DD72}\InProcServer32
Under this key, create a default entry (appear as blank or as Default) with the data BTSwitchSvr.dll
Installed the files/regkey on my Exec, and i'm now seeing the icon in the notification bar.. many thanks :)
Slight problem though: I constantly see a "Notification" on the bottom left hand side soft key; Even when I click "Hide", it just changes back to Notification.. so its basically constantly notifying me on Bluetooth status.
Can you tell me if its possible to check the Bluetooth status every x minutes to check the status - and if Bluetooth is off, then it will switch it on ?
Sorry to hijack the Axim site/thread, but you would make a fair few XDA Exec owners very happy!
Ok, I've managed to test the utility on an X50v with WM5. Update:
1. Fixed the install bug.
2. The software is now designed as a replacement for the default tray icon. A shortcut is created in the \Windows\StartUp, so that it runs automatically upon a restart.

Yes, the way this utility work is that it will always post a notification. Unfortunately, in WM5 the left softkey will change if any notification is available. If a notification is removed, the icon will no longer appear in the nav bar.

I'm not sure I understand you. It means that BT will be switched on after x minutes? It looks like you could just keep BT on and not use this utility. Or did I miss something?
