The Bluetooth item in Control Panel on a Windows Vista SP2-based computer does not work as expected
when you click the item - for Windows 7 check this manually

If you need drivers try your System Maker's support site and/or the actual device maker's site.
BluetoothView is a small utility that runs in the background, and monitor the activity of Bluetooth
devices around you. For each detected Bluetooth device, it displays the following information:
Device Name, Bluetooth Address, Major Device Type, Minor Device Type, First Detection Time,
Last Detection Time, and more. BluetoothView can also notify you when a new Bluetooth device
is detected, by displaying a balloon in your taskbar or by playing a small beep sound. - FREEhttp://www.nirsoft.net/utils/bluetooth_viewer.html
BluetoothCL is a small console application that dumps all current detected bluetooth devices into
the standard output. For each Bluetooth device, the following information is displayed: MAC
Address, Name, Major Device Type, Minor Device Type, and optionally the company name of
the device (if external file of MAC addresses - oui.txt is provided) - FREE
