No "Bluetooth Devices" in Control Panel

Hi,

I plugged in my bluetooth USB adapter and the driver installed without a
problem and now appears under Bluetooth Devices in Device Manager as
"Kensington Bluetooth EDR Dongle", which is the correct driver.

However, I do not have Bluetooth Devices in Hardware and Sound under Control
Panel. Moreover, I do not have the file windows\system32\bthprops.cpl, which
I read about in related posts.

I have build 5472 upgraded from clean Beta 2, but also with clean Beta 2 I
had the same problem.

RE: No "Bluetooth Devices" in Control Panel

I am experiencing the same problem, even in RC1. I have a IoGear GBU311
Bluetooth receiver; I plug it in (though the drivers didn't install
automatically - I pointed it to the XP driver set and it installed with no
aparrent issues). However I do not have the Bluetooth Control Panel. It is
recognized as a Broadcom Bluetooth device in device manager.
