Usage
Copy the CAB file to your device and double click it.
The program is installed to \Program Files\btIO\btIO.exe and a shortcut in the autostart folder is created.
There are three icons:
Green BT-Icon = Bluetooth is enabled and in discoverable mode
White BT-Icon = Bluetooth is enabled and in connectable (invisible) mode
Red BT-Icon = Bluetooth is disabled
You can switch between connectable and disabled by simply pressing the icon in the tray bar.
When you tap'n'hold the icon a menu apears that lets you set the mode you like, and lets you exit the program.
That's it. Enjoy it, it's freeware.
(but if you like this little program feel free to donate...I will buy beer and stuff...you know... :-)
I apologize for the annoying POP-UP on every Softreset in the releases before 0.5. I removed it now.
