    In the bios of my 9400, i can have the wireless hot key turn on bluetooth & wireless, or each individually. The problem is if I have my bluetooth enabled, but not set to turn on when i press the wireless hot key (Fn-F2), the bluetooth is on all the time, and I can't find any option how to turn it off in windows.

    I don't want bluetooth to turn on when i turn on my wireless, wastes battery for nothing.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Go to start > All programes > Bluetooth > Bluetooth settings > in the window click bluetooth Tab > Click options then disable Bluetooth by clicking the Bluetooth Radio Power "blue/black" icon. I'm sure there should be a shorter way though, But since my laptop is plugged in all the time to power source, I didn't care much to find a shorter way to do it.
