Bluetooth removal (Was: Registry: removed HID entry, mouse not working)



Well, to clear things up, I'm not as confused as before.

Now, I'm still trying to figure out, how to physically getting rid of the two drivers I downloaded via Windows update. The problems arose just then.

Every time, I put in my USB BT dongle, the drivers sitting somewhere in Windows are detected for that device. This is what I was trying - deleting the sys files in System32 dir and removing all registry entries. Deleting the files seemed to restore the sys files immediately, which was/is really strange. I also want to get rid of the Bluetooth entry in the system control panel, which I also couldn't get done.
So I also tried to delete the CPL for the control panel entry.


But I was actually just trying. I'm a little desparate on this as you can see.

So, after all this crap, system restore really looks like an option. Though I'd like to avoid it somehow, but I need a better way, maybe a tool to do it for me.

Is safe mode of any good there?
