    I have WinXP running on BootCamp and everything works just fine. However, I could NOT find the Bluetooth applet in the WinXP installation that deals with adding new BT devices, change passkey, etc.

    So I though: well, maybe the BT driver was not installed and it's not functioning. Well, guess what: I use an Apple Wireless (BT) Keyboard for my Leopard and the moment WinXP boot up from Boot Camp, the keyboard AUTOMATICALLY connects to my WinXP!

    Sounds good so far, right? Well, not really. Like I said, I can't add any NON-APPLE Bluetooth hardware, such as mouse or even cellphone. Even more, it is a security risk having BT ON ALL THE TIME with no way of disabling it.

    Can anyone help?
