Overview
Some built-in Bluetooth applications provide full functionality for a specific task, such as locating other
Bluetooth devices or synchronizing two Personal Information Managers.
Other built-in Bluetooth applications provide a way for standard Windows applications to accomplish their tasks
wirelessly. For example, a Bluetooth application may create a wireless serial connection between computers
or provide wireless access to the Internet.
The difference between Bluetooth Applications and Bluetooth Services:
•
Bluetooth Applications are software programs on this computer that allow this computer to use the
Bluetooth services that are provided by other devices. In the Bluetooth configuration panel, these
programs are referred to collectively as Client Applications.
•
Bluetooth Services are software programs on this computer that provide a service to other devices. In the
Bluetooth configuration panel, these programs are referred to collectively as Local Services.
Note: The Bluetooth exchange folder is shared by the PIM Item Transfer and the File Transfer
services and can be configured from the Properties page of either of those services. When the
Bluetooth exchange folder is reconfigured for either of these services, the other service will be
updated to use the new location. This is also shared by the Imaging service.
