Create "Join a Personal Area Network" shortcut?

1

I am using Windows 8.1, When I right click the bluetooth icon on system traybar, there is Join a Personal Area Network

enter image description here

I would like to create that shortcut on my desktop, it looks like this, only showing the bluetooth device: enter image description here

On the path bar, it shows this place is Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers, but when I go there, it always display all device instead of bluetooth device only : enter image description here

Thanks for reply, but the shortcut is different from "Join a Personal Area Network”, here is the screenshot comparing: http://i.stack.imgur.com/3K7RF.png

@Bilo In your screenshot which is the window you want to see and which window does the shortcut open? – DavidPostill – 2015-06-25T10:20:41.427

The left one is what i want, just like the screenshot in question, but the shortcut open the right one, which is searching available bluetooth device instead – Bilo – 2015-06-25T10:25:05.677

@bilo Try using explorer.exe localappdata%\Packages\windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Indexed\Settings\en-US\AAA_SettingsPagePCSystemBluetooth.settingcontent-ms as the location. Replace en-US with your language code. – DavidPostill – 2015-06-25T10:33:08.047

Hi, just tried but it is not working, it direct me to Documents this time – Bilo – 2015-06-25T11:04:17.337

Sorry, I don't have any other suggestions. It seems from further google searching that what you actually want is a shortcut to Bluetooth PAN. Lots of people are asking but I couldn't find any other possible solutions apart from the above. – DavidPostill – 2015-06-25T11:07:04.953
