Available on Windows

The 153rd most popular system tool on Windows

Fences is a one-of-a-kind program, allowing you to draw labeled shaded areas on your desktop, which become movable & resizable containers for your desktop icons. These groups can help bring organization and consistency to your computer's desktop, solving the "constant mess" problem that has plagued the desktop since its inception.

Fences also helps you finally appreciate the wallpaper you have hiding behind all that clutter. In addition to its organizing features, Fences offers a novel quick-hide feature (in-patenting-process). Double click your desktop, and all your icons will fade out. Double click again, and they'll return.

    No performance hit that I can tell. Good for multi-user computers - everyone's stuff is in its own little corral. Snapshot restore feature is a nice bonus.

    Organizes the desktop nicely, and logically. I have not noticed any negative effects.

    An excellent lightweight desktop icon management program. And unlike other Stardock softwares it's totally free of Bloat.

    I like its style, but the worst is. It adds more than 2000 entries to my registy! I rarely seen a software did this, even more than mircosuck.

    It never slowed my computer down, and it's not the fastest one. Work great on Seven. Highly recommended! One of the best software out there.

    It slows the PC down; but does a *great* job at organizing a typical XP desktop.

    I loved this tool, it helps unclutter and logically organize your icons, I would recommend it for anyone who has groups of shortcuts for specific areas. It makes life easier.
