I discovered a great new windows utility this week on our sister site, Windows 7 News & Tips. One of the areas that I hoped Microsoft would improve in Windows 7 was providing better tools for keeping desktops organised. Unfortunately they didn’t, but lucking I’ve now discovered Stardock Fences. With Fences it is easy to group icons on a desktop into ‘Fences’. Multiple fences can be created and each individual fence can be moved anywhere on the desktop, keeping groups of icons together. The best way to demonstrate this is to show you my current desktop and my Fences:
As you can see I’ve created several Fences that I’ve organised around my desktop. Creating new fences is easy – all you have to do is right click on a blank area of the desktop and give your new Fence a name:
Once created, each fence can then be resized and moved. My favoutite feature is you can double-click on any area of the desktop to remove all icons, and double-click again to bring them back.
There are two versions of Fences, a free and a Premium $19.95 version – the free version will be more than adequate for most users:
