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.

2) It would be nice to be able to hide/minimize some fences while leaving others up and showing.
Right click on a fence title and choose exclude.

Can you make it compatible with RightClick?  Currently I lose the fences options if I enable RC

It's only free until the end of August.

How much are you planning to charge for this?   It's kinda neat, but not something I'd pay more then $5 for.

Sorry if that sounds insulting, I have no idea what you plan to charge, or what DE stuff costs.  This is neat though.

Awesome program!  I've always hated my desktop clutter and this just made my life easier.

I was looking today at the cluttered mess of icons my boss has on our work computers, and it struck me how archaic the whole file/folder/desktop arrangement is. I started wondering if there was a way to make a box or panel or something that I could use to visually group icons together, and now Stardock tells me they made one! WHEEE!!

Only problem is that I seem to be unable to sort non-fenced icons into ABCS or type of files, etc. That is still useful even with fence. Can it be added?
