Organizes the desktop!
Published on February 4, 2009 By Island Dog In WinCustomize News

Stardock is excited to announce its most innovative desktop utility application since the popular WindowBlinds today – Stardock Fences for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. The free application from Stardock clears desktop clutter and provides consistency and organization for groups of files on the desktop. Fences allows users to literally “draw” labeled shaded areas on the desktop which become movable & resizable “containers” for desktop icons. These groups arrange and hide the files on the computer's desktop solving the "constant mess" problem that has plagued the desktop since its inception.

To help solve another weak point of the desktop - the mere appearance of clutter, Fences offers a novel quick-hide feature. Users can double click the desktop and all of the icons will fade out. When users double click again the icons will return. Users can pick and choose which desktop icons hide when the feature is activated.

Visit the Fences website to see more screenshots and videos of Fences in action, and for your free download.

Yes when I double click the desktop Dopus opens up, as mentioned a different hot key for hiding in Fences would be ideal. Auto Fencing will be an option in the future? Not just for different filetypes etc (eg shortcuts) but for downloads or new additions on the desktop? I do actually like the fences program/idea, but in its current iteration it is just not as usable as I would lik it to be

I cannot change the hotkey for Dopus, as I have requested within the support before, but been ignored again in a sense, It is that as default, but I had to stop using Dreams etc as they also stopped me using Dopus and loading by Double Click. I was told by support to stop using dreams :/
