Show or hide icons on your Blackberry phone

I've seen this happen to people many times, but sometimes icons seem to disappear from their Blackberry menu and they don't know how to get them back. Sometimes it appears to be completely random, and other times it's probably the user clicking too quickly. Either way, it's easy to hide or show icons. Here's how:

To hide icons

1. Highlight the icon you want to hide

2. Hold down Alt, then press down on the select button

3. Scroll down to Hide and press down on the select button

To show icons

1. On the menu screen, hold Alt and press down on the select button

2. Scroll down to Show All and select it

3. Now you should see all the icons, with the hidden icons looking mostly transparent. Highlight the icon you want to show

4. Hold down Alt, then press down on the select button. Hide should be checked

5. Scroll down to Hide and press down on the select button to uncheck that option
