Bluetooth Exchange Folder
|
The highest-level folder to which another Bluetooth device has access. Devices that have been granted access to a Bluetooth Exchange Folder also have access to all subfolders contained within that folder and all files in those subfolders.
 NOTICE: By default, the Bluetooth Exchange Folder is placed in My Documents. If you relocate the Bluetooth Exchange Folder, do not place it in a root or system folder. Relocating the Bluetooth Exchange Folder to a root or system folder enables remote devices to harm the operating system on your computer.
The Bluetooth Exchange Folder is shared by the PIM Item Transfer and the File Transfer services. The location of the folder can be specified from the Properties page of either of these services. If you change the location of the Bluetooth Exchange Folder for one of these services, the path is automatically updated for the other service.
The Bluetooth Imaging service also uses this folder to store received images.
