Windows XP, Bluetooth, & accepting files

    I've got a cell phone and hooked it up to my laptop running Windows XP. I can send files from my laptop to my phone and from my phone to my laptop just fine, but only one at a time. Questions:

    1. How can I transfer more than 1 file at a time from Windows to my cell phone? I'm using whatever bluetooth client came with XP (SP 3)
    2. How can I make XP accept files from my cell phone without having to click on "receive file" first? How can I receive more than one file at a time?

    Because going on a trip (which I'm doing frequently at the moment) and transferring 30+ pictures one by one is a huge pain in the rear end.

    I got a laptop through work now that runs Windows 7. It works under Windows 7 just fine with the same bluetooth adapter. Problem solved.

    I have hundreds of images on my mobile right now and want to transfer them via bluetooth to my PC running Windows XP.

    I don't have a data cable or a bluetooth adapter.

    How do I transfer data from mobile to PC?

    Without an adapter your PC simply cannot do bluetooth. This is a hardware problem, not a software problem.

    You can buy a USB adapter for fairly cheap, which will come with all the required software to use it, and should interface fine with any bluetooth device.
