Organizing Desktop

Fences is a Windows enhancement that assists in organizing the desktop by grouping icons into "fenced areas" and optionally hiding icons when not in use. It features a simple-to-use setup, you can customize color & opacity, it has low system impact, you can take & restore snapshots of your layouts for backup, and more. This is an unusual tool for "roping off your desktop" by grouping icons and folders into either automated "fences" or by manually creating "fences" and placing specific icons inside them. The author says: "Fences allows you to create shaded areas on your desktop that you can place icons in. You can label them however you wish, and move/resize them anywhere on the desktop. Pre-included layouts help speed the process for new users." While you can turn off Fences from within the program, icons are not returned to their original position and, if you use the snapshot feature to restore the original layout, there are a number of small differences which we do not find pleasing. The only way to fully restore the original look 'n feel of the desktop is to uninstall the program. One feature we did really like about Fences was its ability to hide your desktop icons so that the wallpaper could be seen in all its glory. Those icons could be just as easily restored when they were needed. If you like to dress up your desktop then Fences is well worth checking out.
