Fn+F2

Is it possible to set Fn+F2 shortcut to only act upon the BlueTooth Radio rather than both BlueTooth and WLAN?
 
When I press Fn+F2 it turns both off.  If I immediately press Fn+F2 again it turns both back on and WLAN reconnects.  However if I wait a few minutes after turning them off, pressing Fn+F2 truns them both on but the WLAN doesn't reconnect for several minutes unless I manually scan for networks.
 
I would like for the Fn+F2 shortcut to only trun on/off BlueTooth Radio and not affect WLAN.

I think you would be looking at a significant registry hack and probably not worth the effort.

Why not just right click the Bluetooth icon in systray and select power off?

That is precisely what I do.  But I would like ability to turn BlueTooth on/off with a keyboard shortcut, without affecting WLAN.
