Hi, I'm using a Fujitsu E8410 laptop, Microsoft Windows Vista.

Recently, everytime I enable the Bluetooth function, a folder is automatically created on my desktop. This folder is called "Field Trip to Esplanade Pictures", but is always empty.

I created this folder end of August for school work, but deleted it soon after. So it doesn't make sense to me that it keeps getting created whenever i turn on the bluetooth.

What can I do to fix this? I've deleted the folder repeatedly after enabling the bluetooth radio.

What are you trying to connect via Bluetooth?

Could it be that one of your Bluetooth capable devices has this file on it - and that it's syncing it to your desktop when you turn the radio on?

Hi, I was trying to connect my handphone via bluetooth to transfer pictures. But my handphone is new, and didn't have that folder "Field trip.." on it.

And the folder is re-created the moment i enable the bluetooth on my laptop, which is very odd.
