How to reinstate MSFT's own Bluetooth Drivers Stack?

I'm referring to the stack that powers MSFT's Keyboard Elite for BT and
Intellimouse Explorer for Bluetooth. In device manager as:
Bluetooth
Enumerator............................................windows\system\driver\bthenum.sys
Wireless Transceiver for
Bluetooth.........................windows\system32\drivers\bthport.sys
.........................windows\system32\drivers\bthusb.sys
.........................windows\system32\fsquirt.exe
Reason I ask is that I stupidly installed a Widcomm Bluetooth Transceiver
(for my Motorola cellphone) and I know if I uninstall the software it will
take ALL Bluetooth stuff with it. The hardware wont work and has to be
reinstalled and then Windows can't find the drivers online/offline or
whatever.
I do not have the luxury of System Restore as I'm in a dual boot and haven't
yet managed to configure Bitlocker protection.
I've gone through this exercise once already and had to reinstall Vista. I
thought (idiot I know) that I would be able to get around it this time.

No matter - by searching the same drive it was found. Vista acts in strange
ways sometimes. Now if only MSFT would update their driver stack to
encompass all the different functions of Bluetooth.
