Bluetooth Applications are software applications on this computer that allow this
computer to use the Bluetooth services that are provided by remote devices. The
Bluetooth applications on this computer are referred to collectively in the Bluetooth
configuration panel as “Client Applications.”
Bluetooth Services and Bluetooth Applications usually have coinciding names; e.g., there
is a File Transfer service and a File Transfer client application.
How this computer provides a service to remote devices is configured on the Local
Services tab of the Bluetooth configuration panel.

3.3 BLUETOOTH EXCHANGE FOLDER
This is the highest-level directory on this computer to which a remote Bluetooth device
has access.
Devices that have been granted access to this computer’s Bluetooth Exchange Folder also
have access to all sub-folders contained within that folder and all files in those sub-
folders.
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 re-configured for either of
these services, the other service will be updated to use the new location.
