Apple’s made it really easy to add and move around icons, both applications and Web clips, on the iPhone’s home screen. They’re not so easy to keep organized, however. So, after installing a few hundred or so additional icons, you may discover your having some trouble finding the standard applications that shipped with your iPhone. No problem. It’s easy to reset the iPhone so these icons appear exactly where they did when you first turned on your device.

What you’ll need to do first is find the Settings icon.

From there, hit the General

and then Reset.

Select Reset Home Screen Layout button.

Then, lastly, press the red Reset Home Screen button (see top image).

Go back to your iPhone’s Home Screen and you’ll the original icons back in their factory settings positions, followed by the ones for the applications and Web clips you added.
