Question

How to disable bluetooth transfer confirmation in Windows 8?

by Apr 13, 2014 2:11AM PDT

I have a smartphone and a PC with Windows 8 Pro 64 bits. They are paired using bluetooth. But everytime I want to send a file from my smartphone to the PC, I get a confirmation box in Windows 8, asking me if I want to accept or reject the file.

The problem is that in my PC, I have a fullscreen application, and I want that my users use nothing but my application. They should not have any access to any Windows menu or window.

So, how is it possible to disable this confirmation box, so Windows could automatically accept any sent file ?

Thanks for your help !

The reason is that folk are demand more security and more alerts that such is going on. There are other ways to transfer files over bluetooth and I'm going to reveal my office writes such apps. My guess is your app is your app with full source code, control and more. That is, you are not trying to get by with what's just a standard feature and just needed a little push to add transfer capability to your code.
