i have successfully installed Zorin 7 and i am very pleased with it. in Zorin 6 there was a bluetooth icon which allowed me to disable bluetooth which i never use. This icon is not present in 7 although i can disable it from system settings.
However i would like to permanently disable bluetooth so i do not have to spend time disabling it after startup.

Hi,

open a terminal and paste this command:

Code:
sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop


which will show all startup entries in the startup applications menu.

Start the "Startup Applications" app and look for "Bluetooth" in the list and take out the tick.

Regards Wolfman :D

many thanks for the code.Unfortunately nothing happened when I pasted it and added my password.However after much googling I did manage to find code which solved the problem.

Hi,

nothing happens, that is why you must start "Startup Applications" and do the tick thing manually!.
