Hi,
On my N95 8GB (and should be similar on yours) go to Menu > Tools > Settings
> General > Personalisation > Standby.
The shortcuts option relates to the two soft keys that you can press whilst
at the home screen (that's the main screen that shows up when you first boot
into your phone, and the screen which appears when you press the end call
button in any app). The Standby Apps are the shortcuts on the home screen,
such as Contacts, Calendar, etc, and you can set these to whatever you like,
including bookmarks. On my phone I can only do 6 shortcuts, but you can do
more on newer devices. Also, there is a hack where you can remove the
annoying 'share online' option on the home screen to give a little more room
if you wish.
HTH.
