There are 3 ways to control your computer using bluetooth

1. If you have a sonyericsson phone there is a remote control which is given by the manufacturer. They are .hid files which can be downloaded on your phone and the phone will recognize the file and put it under remote control. These .hid file need to passed onto the phone using an object push and not a file transfer. If they are not pushed the phone will not recognize then .
The 3 basic ones i got in my w810i were
Presenter
Media Player
Desktop
And for there to work you should connect your phone to the comp and start human interface device.

Apart from these you can download more .hid files from here HID files - Bluetooth Remote - Welcom...

2.If you don't have a sonyericsson phone you can use a java software which is available on the net by the name of salling clicker . You can download this from here - Salling Software - Home. This currently works with XP service pack 2 Stack and the Widcomm Stack (These are the bluetooth stacks . The stack depends on your dongle).
This software comes with inbuilt settings for iTunes , Presenter and Mediaplayer .It can control more applications but you will have to download the scripts from the site and add them.
It also supports a wide range of handsets ( practically all ) but costs 20$ :( .

3. There is a third software which also uses java and is free. In this software you can make the connection through GPRS as well as bluetooth. I haven't used this so can't really comment about it.I am listing down the features from the site
- Desktop view of computer on mobile phone. 8 level zoom option.
- Chat between mobile phone and computer. You can show and hide chat window.
- You can shut down or restart your computer from mobile phone.
- Logging of servers' IP on a web server for client.
- Connection can be done over GPRS (internet!)
- Connection can be done over Bluetooth (10m-100m range depends on your bluetooth dongle and phone. Phone should support JSR-82 javax.bluetooth API. you should add serial port (A com port Ex: COM6) for communication from your bluetooh driver software. WIDCOMM or WinXP bluetooth driver)
-You can run server totaly hidden. No system tray icon no window. In the hidden mode if you press R while pressing LEFT CTRL+ALT+ LEFT SHIFT Main Window will be showed.
- You cand run command on the computer.
- Username and Password checking for protection.
- Reliable connection between computer and mobile phone.
- Low badwith usage over network.
- User friendly GUI and easy accessiable functions!
- Turkish and English help files included!
You can download it from here : Mobile Phone . Its called RemotePC2

Hope this a lil helpful.
