Windows mobile 6.1 - Disable Bluetooth
Hi All,
I'm looking for a way to disable bluetooth on a windows mobile 6.1 device. So far I haven't had much luck. I've inhibited users access to it but I'm not really satisfied with that approach.
Can anyone help with a way to achieve this? Sofar I've tried setting these reg values:
* Where a dll is referenced I've added an "x" to the end[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex] "IsEnabled"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTAGSVC] "IsEnabled"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTFTPAutoMount] "Dll"="BTFTPAutoMount.dllx" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BthAsPlugin] "Dll"="BthASPlugIn.dllx" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTHIDSVC] "IsEnabled"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTIconSvc] "Dll"="BTIconSvc.dllx" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\KWBPP] "Dll"="KWBPP.dllx" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\OBEX] "DLL"="OBEXSrVr.dllx"
I see that if you have MDM you can do it unfortuately MDM is not a part of this.

- The question can probably be answered by a developer. Even though you are not developing an application, you might be more apt to get a solution from a place where developers gather. Usually we refer folks to one of these forums for developer related questions:

- I think this might help you out to prevent receiving files:
If you want to prevent receiving files over BlueTooth or IrDA, you can set the following value:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to (re-)enable:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled = 1 (DWORD decimal)

- Thanks Jack,
That is quite helpful though not quite what the business wants. Is there a way to turn BT off and dissallow it to be started, without the expense and complicity of using MDM? - The question can probably be answered by a developer.
