Ovi Suite upgraded 6220 Classic. Can I bin home sc...

Question

I hadn't backed up my phone in 2 and a half years (I'd previously done so with Nokia PC Suite), so I thought I should create a fresh back-up. To do this I connected the phone to my Dad's PC laptop (running Windows Vista Home Premium) as my own computer is a 10 year old Mac which won't run PC software natively.
The PC detected the phone, automatically installed some 6220 Classic device drivers onto itself, and then asked for permission to update 2 different bits of software on the phone, which it did quite quickly & easily. (The version numbers of these 2 pieces of software both went from 1.0.0 to 1.x.x after the updates were applied - I can't recall the exact version numbers, but one of them became 1.5.x).
After this the PC downloaded & installed PC Suite. At the point where I was asked if I wanted to run PC Suite, I was presented with a button offering me the option to download, install & run Ovi Suite instead. I accepted.
Once Ovi Suite was running, it told me that it wanted to update my phone's software, but to do this it would need to move all the data from the phone to the PC, do the update, and then put everything back again. I agreed, and this (lengthy) process took place. I had to log into my Nokia account near the beginning of this process.
After the process completed & the phone restarted itself, I was asked for permission to re-update the 2 small pieces of software that the PC had originally updated on the phone. (Strangely, after the Ovi Suite wipe & restore, the version numbers had reverted to 1.0.0, but this repeat of the updating took them back to 1.x.x again in both cases).
After everything was complete, I successfully backed all my data up from the phone to the PC.
Because of the Ovi Suite wipe, upgrade & restore, many settings/preferences had reverted to their factory defaults rather than to my preferred settings. I've been able to put everything back to how I like it apart from 2 things:
1. The main/home/start screen, rather than just having my chosen wallpaper shown, has a row of icons overlaying the top of the wallpaper, with a dotted line below them, a summary of today & tomorrow's calendar entries below that, another dotted line, a "Search: Internet and My content" line, another dotted line, and then a "Share online" line. I can't seem to get rid of all this - is there any way to?
2. This is related to problem 1. Previously I had the four directions of the "Navi" scroll key (plus the centre button) set to my five preferred commands. Since the upgrade there doesn't seem to be any way to change their functions. Up, down, left & right now move a highlight around the icons & lines referred to in the paragraph above, and the centre key is labelled "Open". If I go to Menu -> Settings -> Phone Settings -> General -> Personalisation -> Standby Mode -> Shortcuts, I can assign whatever I like to the Left & Right selection keys as before, but there are no entries to allow me to assign anything to the Navi scroll key. Instead I can assign whatever I like to Shortcuts 1 through 6 - i.e. I can choose which 6 icons should overlay the top of my wallpaper. The problem is I don't want any icons overlaying my wallpaper, and I want to restore the ability to customise the Navi scroll key's functions on the home screen - is there any way to make things how they were, without somehow wiping the phone & restoring it to how it was before Ovi Suite did its worst?
Many thanks.

Answer 1

While I was fiddling around with my phone first thing this morning I actually figured out the answers to both problems myself, almost by accident, but many thanks for the reply anyway.
Just to give a precise version of the answer above for the 6200 Classic, anyone in this situation should go to:
Menu -> Settings -> Phone settings -> General -> Personalisation -> Standby mode -> Standby theme
and change "Horizontal icon bar" to "Basic". This will solve problem 1.
Pressing "Back" then "Shortcuts" will reveal that the options to alter the Navi key functionality are now also available (solving problem 2).
Simple when you know how!
