piece. This menu item appears only if the handset is activated.

Using Explore

You can navigate to a media file in many ways, but Explore is the quickest
way to find a file. It has similarities to Windows Explorer and a search facility
similar to Find in BlackBerry applications such as Contacts, MemoPad, and
Tasks.
To launch Explore, touch-press Media from the Home screen, press the menu
key, and touch-press Explore. The Explore screen displays the device's top-
most folders, which are Media Card and Device Memory.
Folders are in a tree hierarchy. You get into the child folders, or subfolders,
by touch-pressing from the parent folder, or top folder.
If you've turned on a picture's Hidden property, using Explore is the only
method in your Storm through which you'll be able to locate the file again:
1. Navigate to the folder where your picture file is located.
If you don't know exactly where the picture file is located, you may have
to touch-press different folders until you find the file.
2. Press the menu key and touch-press Show Hidden.
The default location for pictures taken by the Camera application is /Device
Memory/home/user/pictures or /Media Card/BlackBerry/pictures.
