i am using a bluetooth USB adapter from kensington (USB micro)...

when i do not want to use bluetooth i right click the Bluetooth manager in the tray and click "disable bluetooth radio".

This works only till the point of not being able to access the bluetooth devices.

Problem: The blue light on the bluetooth adapter keeps flashing still. How can i turn it completely off?
