What Device and OS are you using? I'm assuming PocketPC since you are
here, here is what I can give you without knowing that information.

On the standard PocketPC device it is as follows:
Bluetooth:

Start
Settings
Connections
Bluetooth (Allows you to turn on/off Bluetooth)

Wifi
Start
Settings
Connections
Wireless Manager (WiFi should be listed there)

Re: Disable peripheral devices

Hi

It is an Intermec PPC. I should have mentioned that I need to
disable/enable these peripherals in code. They are used rarely throughout
the lifetime of my application and I'd like to disable them when I don't
need them in order to save battery power.

Just be certain that another application that could be running doesn't
need the resources you are attempting to turn off. It is not hard to
imagine that email, push mail, bluetooth headphone, bluetooth gps or
several others could be running at the same time your application.

I know you want exclusive control over the device, just be sure you
have.. even corporate policies change often.
