Hi Gazza73.
I have been having the same problems. I dont want all my pictures being displayed when I press the on screen media button. I tried creating new folders and dropping the pictures in that I wanted to remain private but the k850i still somehow manages to find them and display them in the media album. However I have found a way round it!
Ok. You need to plug the phone in and remove any pictures off the phone and on to your PC that you want to remain private. Then again on your PC open MEMORY CARD - open MUSIC - open RINGTONES and in RINGTONES create a new folder (name it Private Pics for example), then copy your pictures back into the folder you have just created. The phone then does not recognise them as pictures and therefore will not display them in the media album. Then all you have to do is access them through FILE MANAGER - MEMORY CARD - MUSIC - RINGTONES and there they are and the good news is you can still asign them as contacts or wallpaper etc.
Hope this helps.
