If you've installed the Dell Battery Meter/Wireless Select Switch (R232390) and Dell Wireless Enable/Disable (R229452) for Windows XP (should only need to install the later one, just for sure), or Dell Battery Meter/Wireless Select Switch (R232390) for Windows 7, then you can use function keys to switch on/off the bluetooth in Windows system.
PS: The drivers can be easily found online from Dell Support.

mini 10 (1010, AU)|1GB RAM|160GB HDD|BlueTooth|DVB-T|GMA 500|1024x576

Inspiron 1300n|1GB RAM|60GB HDD|DVD+RW|GMA 900|1280x800

Both run with Windows XP Home SP3 + Windows 7 Ultimate RC dual-OS.

that may be true, but its too much hassle to toggle it back it forth....no need to reboot all the time...the other way requires no rebooting....
