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

3.5.1 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 applications are referred to collectively
as “Local Services”.
Note: Client Applications and Local Services usually have coinciding names; e.g., there may be
a Fax service and a Fax application.
