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.

1. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. But just imagine if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this website could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche. Very good blog!

12. I would like to show some appreciation to you for rescuing me from this particular problem. Because of exploring throughout the online world and coming across principles which were not powerful, I thought my life was gone. Living without the presence of solutions to the issues you have resolved by means of your entire post is a critical case, and the ones that might have in a negative way damaged my career if I had not come across your site. Your personal know-how and kindness in dealing with every aspect was very useful. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I had not encountered such a subject like this. I am able to at this point look ahead to my future. Thank you very much for the high quality and results-oriented help.
