Tools of the Trade: Stardock Fences


I just discovered a sweet, free, Windows-only beta product from Stardock called Fences. Fences is a program that “helps you organize your desktop, and can hide your icons when they’re not in use.”

Basically, Fences creates separate areas on your desktop dedicated to specific types of icons (Programs, Folders, Recently Used, Games, etc.), letting you better organize the icon clutter from all your programs, files, and folders:

Three or four years ago I actually modified a desktop background to have groups like this, but it definitely wasn’t a great solution. Fences, on the other hand, seems to work really well and I can spot the file or program I need at a glance instead of getting lost in the typical mess of icons on my desktop.
