I was able to send multiple files from my android phone in windows 7 via Bluetooth.  Now it seems i have to click 'receive a file' each time i want to transfer.  How do i set my PC to always accept and send files from my phone to a specific location such as the desktop?

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply.

    I would suggest you to delete the device through which you are trying to receive the file and pair it again and check the issue.

    Hope it helps

    Hi McMahon,

    I would suggest you to follow these steps and check if it helps:

    1. Find the Bluetooth icon in your system tray (it may be hidden; if so click the little up arrow to the left of the tray items and you'll be presented with all items in the tray).
    2. Right-click on the Bluetooth icon and select "Receive a File".
    3. A dialog will appear that states it's "waiting for a connection".
    4. Start the file transfer from your phone.

    Hope it helps. If you have any further issues on the computer, please post your question related to Windows and we will be happy to help you.
