Can anyone advise how i move any individual folder (xl facebook etc) from the folder applications / downloads to sit separately as an individual icon on the screen so that I do not have to go via the folders that they are currently in to access them.
Just scroll over to the Icon you wish to move, hit the BB menu key and select "move to homescreen" this should place it in the menu and out of the folder
For anyone else who may need this since SLIMM appears to have found it. Choose move to folder option from the menu when you press the blackberry key. Then choose home and it will put it on your homescreen. If you want to rearrange your icons on the home screen then scroll to the icon you want to move, click the blackberry button to bring up the menu, select move instead of move to folder and it will put that icon in a movable state. Move it where you want it with the trackball and click the trackball once to drop it where you placed it. You can do that with any icon and that helps to set up your screen if you are using any special themes. The icons on the actual homescreen are based on where you place them in order. The screen icons get dropped to is actually an expanded view of the homescreen much like hitting my computer on your PC to get to files if that makes sense.
