Whenever I turn on my laptop, the Bluetooth applet shows up on the system tray, and Bluetooth is enabled. I rarely ever use it however, and I'd like it to be disabled by default, to avoid battery consumption.

Is there a way for that?

These instructions will show you how to stop a program loading during start up, but this does not completely disable bluetooth.

To disable bluetooth, try these scripts at the Ubuntuforums.

I believe this doesn't disable Bluetooth - just prevents the applet from starting. – Sathya♦ Feb 4 '10 at 14:44
Sathya is right. I updated my answer. – Iain Feb 4 '10 at 14:52
Thanks, the script works perfectly. – Bruce Connor Feb 4 '10 at 18:59
