Hello Brink! Unfortunately, this tutorial is not what I need. The aliases in this tutorial lead only to "generic" Windows Bluetooth control panels, not to Metro control panel (screenshot, if I'm not mistaking with the name of the touch interface).
I need this panel to turn BT on/off without a mouse click. Sometimes I disconnect mouse to use my tablet in "horisontal position" on a bed.
I searched for this in Google, but found nothing to acccess this panel from desktop alias (even don't dream any more to access the Bluetooth toggle by an alias), seems to me now that it's different systems in Windows and it's impossible because they don't cross with each other, but still hope that it's possible.
Hello all! Found a way at last!
