Go to windows explorer, highlight the file/s you want to send to the phone, right click, find "send to" submenu, click on Bluetooth and then follow the quite simple instructions.

I think perhaps there is something wrong with either the dongle, the software or my PC. As I can send, it is most strange. Perhaps the software is just too complicated! Can you suggest a Bluetooth dongle with software which is accessible and fairly easy to use for simple file transfer?

In particular the security settings? I am not familiar with your receiver so I can't help a lot on it.
