InfoWorld’s “Truly Awesome Tools” for Win7 Power Users

InfoWorld’s “Truly Awesome Tools” for Win7 Power Users–Includes Fences!

Published on September 9, 2010 By Island Dog In Personal Computing

InfoWorld has published an article of the “Truly Awesome tools for Windows 7 power users”, and has included Fences by Stardock as one of them!

If you're anything like me, Stardock Fences is essential. My dual-screen desktop was littered with icons for docs, videos, PDFs, folders, and so on until I found Stardock Fences. This tool helps clean up and organize all those icons. There is a free version and a Pro version (with more customization features) for $9.99. In less than five minutes, I had my desktop organized into fences that made sense for my needs.

Impressive. But not for me. i have Fences and though its the free version it does what I need it to do. As for the rest, I got enough toys to play with.

Spencer, What's your take on WindowsMedia Live?

Fences reminds me too much of Windows 3.11.

I've tried Connectify a while back and like it so much that I stopped using my external hardware router. Its so much easier and seems to have a longer range as well.

I love Fences, even though I rarely keep a cluttered Desktop. the double-click-hide is what makes it for me. I love it to death.

I wish there was a program that allowed me to COMPLETELY alter the appearance of Windows.

Don't get me wrong, I love WindowBlinds. But some things just aren't possible with it. And that... bugs me a bit.

I'm sure turning windows into an amazing holographic interface like the kinds seen in Iron Man would take a few extra registry hacks...

The only icons on my desktop are in ODP 2. I don't like a cluttered desktop. My room is another thing, though.
