Fn + F2 on my Dell Laptop. But that shortcut also disables the

wireless. Oops.

 

I'm taking it that unplug is not an option. I would have guessed all

usb items are plug and play, but not having experience with a plug in

bluetooth (mines built into my laptop) then I can only guess.

Big Al,

 

That is controllable in the BIOS. It can be set to not disable the wireless

there...

I don't use it but I'll look for the check of it. Thanks.

But do you have a bluetooth keyboard. If you do and disable the bluetooth

receiver, you won't be able to boot he PC when you will get the infamous

error message:

 

Keyboard failure.

 

Press F1 to continue.

No I own a laptop. Bluetooth was there for a headset/mic and mouse.

I found the headset too cumbersome/garbled and just use the mouse now.
