Autostart Bluetooth?

Is there any way to autostart the bluetooth hardware? I'm using a MS Bluetooth mouse, and it's a bit of a pain to have to press fn+F12 each time I boot up. I've got the basic Gigabit Lan & Wireless 802.11N card with Bluetooth on a VortexII. Just seems a bit odd that I can't tell it to come on with the laptop!

not sure but its possible theres an option in the bios similar to switching num lock on at boot up to enable blutooth to be switched on in bootup.

That was my first thought, but I can't see anything there to enable it. The Bluetooth light comes on during the initial bios boot sequence and turns off just as Windows finishes booting, which makes me think that there's something turning it off before I can log on - if that is the case, then I'd have thought it was possible to stop that happening, but I can't see anything stopping it. I did hope that the Hotkey app may have an option to 'not' turn it off (or turn it on), but no such luck!
