Pics on desktop, hiding in corner :s

I connected my blackberry to my laptop and it synchronised all my pics onto desktop. I had alot of pics! Now whats happened is that the pics have been transferred to desktop. The whole screen was full of pics and they were further along the main desktop page (if u knw what i mean - finding it hard to explain :S). I deleted the ones i cud see, but there are more on desktop, however im not able to scroll along (like u usually do on a normal page) to view the rest of the pics.

I did manage to do it last time when this happened, although i dont know how i did it :s..
Can anyone helps??

    Hi,

    You don't state which OS you are using, but I'll guess you are using Windows XP. In that case you can go to C:\Documents And Settings\<Your User Name>\Desktop using Windows Explorer. From here you'll see the contents of your desktop and can move or delete the remaining pictures. I'm sure it's a similar approach for Vista and Windows 7 though I think users information is stored under C:\Users but I'm not 100% sure.

    Ben.
  • you can try right click an empty area of the desktop and select sort by name or something like that it might jiggle them arround and show them all

    As above, or quicker:

    Right click on the Start menu Button. Select Explore. In the new window select the Desktop folder. Delete or move all the pictures there.
