Shortcut icons

How do I control what shortcut icons appear in the screen corners ?? And yes I have attempted to glean the info from the manual but without succcess. My immediate problem is that the bottom left & botton right icons have changed to something I never use, which makes it a PITA to find the applications I really want there.

In the interests of research, I have fiddled with mine and have found a way of doing this. You just need to go to the list of applications by dragging up the arrow at the bottom centre of the home screen. Select the app you want to appear on one of the corners, touch and hold the icon for a second or so till the phone vibrates and the corner icons appear on the screen. Drag the icon to the corner you want it to appear in. Let go of the screen, and hey presto! it will now be where you want it. Hope this works for you.

Hello,

I added internet pages to my shortcut icons.

Is there anyway to manage these icons to delete them??

Just tap and hold on the icon and after a few seconds the main menu will pop up, drag and drop the icon into the main menu and it will disappear from the shotcut.

You could try dragging and dropping a new icon over the top of it, so you replace it with whatever you want there.
