 3. Right-click “fsquirt” and select “Create shortcut”. Cope the shortcut and paste it to “Send to” file. Right-click “fsquirt” in “Send to” file and select “Rename”. You can rename it as “Bluetooth”.

4. After finishing above settings, right-click the file that you want to send by Bluetooth and you will see “Bluetooth” from the drop-down list.
