| | Computer's Bluetooth Name When sending files to bluetooth devices from my laptop it appears as 'from bobslaptop' (just an example) whereas my computer name is jameslaptop. Any idea where this setting is stored? |

| Windows 7 Ultimate x86 build 7600 (XP, 98SE, 95, 3.11, DOS 7.10 on VM) + Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx Chennai, India | Check what name is displayed for the Bluetooth device in "Devices and Printers" To change the name, 1. Go to "Start" -> "Devices and Printers" 2. Right click the Bluetooth device and select "Properties" 3. Select "Bluetooth" tab and type a new name. 4. Click "OK" Last edited by gladson1976; 18 Mar 2010 at 03:07 AM.. Reason: Changed wording |

| | Hmm is that for the paired device or the PC? I'm talking about the PC name. |

| | Beauty, got it sorted! Thanks for your help. For anyone else with this problem, the exact menus for me were - Start > Device and Printers Right click on the icon for your computer > choose Bluetooth Settings Click on the Hardware tab Double click Bluetooth 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate (should be named similarly) Click on the Advanced tab Type a new name OK > OK |
