Help Idle Screen issues

Somehow I accidentally removed the Contacts icon from the bottom row (is there a glossary term for that) of the Idle Screen. Now I can't get it back there. It's on the front/first panel/screen/page of the Idle Screen, but above the bottom row. On the bottom row there are now only 3 icons: Phone, Message, and the Apps Menu. How can I get the Contacts icon back on the bottom row, so there will be my 4 main tools showing there?

Also, as an aside, there is a little red triangle in the bottom left hand corner of the Idle Screen? What is it, what does it mean, can I get rid of it?
 
Hey please let us know how you achieved this feat of removing the contacts icon....

Take a back up of your contacts, photos etc etc by connecting to kies. Then do a factory reset of the phone.
 
Just go to the menu, locate your contacts icon press the capacitive menu button and select edit.. After that long press the contact icon an drag it to the bottom.. As for the triangle i'd say you refer to the manual because i dont really know about that
@adarsh i dont think a factory reset is necessary and by using the same method i described above.. You can also replace all bottom bar icons with other icons.. Except for the menu icon..
 
Hi guys, thanks for your replies.

1. I got the same advice as pujit's elsewhere, and it worked. So now I know. I'm gradually getting my head around how this phone 'thinks' - not always intuitive. Or in the manual!

2. The guy in the Vodafone store figured out that the little red triangle was a 'remnant' of the standard wallpaper I was using - i.e. it was part of the design. You could say it was a 'feature'! A damn irritating one. So I changed the wallpaper.
