Hidden Bluetooth Service in Windows XP and Vista

This Bluetooth service trick is an old one, but still many people are not aware that it exists in both Windows XP and Vista. So I am just publishing for my blog readers who still don't know this trick.

Most of us would either buy or download a software which would allow our Bluetooth Dongles or Bluetooth devices to communicate from the PC to mobile phones. However, with this trick, no longer need to search for a software in internet. Don't worry there is a hidden blue tooth software in Windows XP and Vista.

This is how it runs:

1. Click on Start, then on Run.

2. Now type 'fsquirt' without quotes. This will open a window with text Welcome to Bluetooth File Transfer Wizard.

3. Clicking on Next will then allow you to either send or receive a file.

4. Now just select whether you want to send or receive any file and you are done. And Click Next

5. Now You can Select Where you want to send the file or receive the file from depending on your selection from  above

NOTE: Some Bluetooth devices however require special drivers to work properly and these drivers are either supplied along with the devices or need to be downloaded. The Windows Bluetooth service nevertheless works with nearly most of the devices available on the market.
