    Bluetooth 'deleted' from Registry


    Hey guys,

    The past few days, I've been fiddling around with my Bluetooth using Resource Hacker to try and find the tray.exe program which runs when I press my Fn+F3 button. The reason for that is explained here: How to change bluetooth tray icon?

    However, when changing some of the .dll's in the System32 and SysWow64, I guess I prompted CCleaner to notice a change in the Registry related to Bluetooth. As I often do, I used CCleaner to clean my Registry and had no care whatsoever to look at the results, or to back anything up (CCleaner is amazing and I trust it fully ).

    Anyway, since then, I've not been able to get anything Bluetooth-related going on my laptop. Pressing Fn+F3 does absolutely nothing and opening the Bluetooth File Transfer in my Start Menu (fsquirt.exe in System32), gives me the following error: "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)".

    Any thoughts?

    Laurens

    Reinstall bluetooth drivers for your device.

    Nope. Had already done that. Not the issue/solution.

    Thanks! That worked. The system replaced about 5 corrupted files in System32, all related to Bluetooth. Thanks again.

    Awesome.

    Btw, if you manage to change the icon without breaking stuff, post a tutorial.
