Send file via bluetooth.
Hi,
I have a XPS L502X laptop. I can add and remove devices. But there is no "send to bluetooth" option in my right-click menu. My freind have same laptop but he has this option in his right-click menu of a file. If you click it "Send file via bluetooth device wizard"comes up. But I don't have this option.
Please help me.

Hi kash_champ,
Please follow these steps to get the option back in right context menu:
Alternately, type 'btsendto_explorer.exe' in the Search box. When the application appears, create a shortcut for it on the desktop. Drag and drop this file to 'SendTo' folder.
or
Navigate to the 'SendTo' folder as shown above, right-click and select 'New shortcut'. A dialog appears; in the location, type: C:\Windows\System32\fsquirt.exe
and rename it as Bluetooth device.
Hope this helps.
Please reply if you have any further questions.

Yes that works. But its not quit the same. In my friends the send to option is in main right-click menu for a file and not in send-to sub-menu. It appears after right clicking on a FILE. And it opens "send file via Bluetooth Device wizard" not Bluetooth File Transfer.
Is there a way to attach pics in a post here. I could show you the menu.
Thanks.

Thank you for the response.
You can add this option to Context menu by altering the registry. Follow these instructions:
Note: Please backup the registry prior to following these steps. To do so, go to Start>> type 'regedit' without the quotes in the search box and press Enter. Click 'File' on the top right corner and click 'Export'. Save the registry file to the desktop.
Hope this helps.
Please reply if you have any further questions.

I have done that. And it works. But it still opens "Bluetooth File transfer" Not "Send File to Bluetooth device wizard".
This is how it looks when open by clicking "Send to Bluetooth".

Thank you for the response.
This is a driver specific utility. You can try to update the Wireless/Bluetooth drivers from this link: http://dell.to/RAMwGV and install the application from this link: http://dell.to/T1RZZJ
Follow these instructions to download and install the drivers:
Hope this helps.

When I Tried to install Intel Centrino Advanced N-6200 driver it says i have a updated version of the driver. So couldn't install it.
But I did install the Utility. It worked for 1 Day. But when i restarted the system It vanished. Any solution. I really liked the way it worked.

I forgot to mention the utility says Intel 6230 (Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N 6230). But I have confirmed that I have Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 1030. Could that be the reason? Is there a utility for that version.

Thank you for the response.
It seems to be an operating system conflict due to which the utility is not functioning as expected. You can try to restore the computer to factory settings (PC Restore).
Note: PC restore will lead to data (pictures, documents, programs, music) loss. Please perform a data backup prior to this step. Please disconnect any external peripherals as well.
To perform PC restore:
The Welcome screen will show 2 options; 'Restore computer and preserve my new or changed files' and
PC restore will initiate. Click 'Restart'.
Once done, apply the registry fix and update the drivers/utility again.
Also, I would like to check the system configuration. I am sending you a friend request; please accept it and send me the Service Tag and account information through private message. Please do not share the Service tag in the open forum. I will check the system configuration and help you accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Do write back with the results.

I have send you the Service tag through friend conversation. About the procedure What you said would probably work. But I'm not willing to go through that long procedure right now. I think when I completely reinstall my OS It will work all right. I have a plan to reinstall my OS on a later date.
I would probably let you know if it works then.
But Thank you VERY much for all your help. I really appreciate it. Really Thanks.
