Hi there -
I tried to use a Epson Bluetooth Print Adaptor with WINXP SP3 without getting it to work. It interfered with my Logitech Bluetooth setup and in the end I decided to uninstall Bluetooth and used WINXP System Restore. WINXP still runs perfectly but I now have over 70 Bluetooth Devices icons on the Control Panel. How can I get rid off them.

1. Click Start, click Run, and then type CMD and press Enter.
2. At the prompt, type REGSVR32 APPWIZ.CPL and press Enter.

Add/Remove Programs tool displays installed programs incorrectly

Also check
C:\windows\system32 for multiple *.cpl files with the same name. If there are delete all but one (1).

let us know how you get on.

1) & 2) did not work - not recognised as an internal or external command etc...

I found 81 extra bthprops.cpl files - deleting them cleaned-up the control panel.

Many thanks!
