I’m one of those people who is never quite satisfied with things, especially when it comes to the interface on my computer.  The Windows desktop environment has always been a somewhat chaotic environment, especially if you use the desktop as a “sort bin” like I usually do.  Luckily the folks over at Stardock have created some wonderful freeware (for now) software called Fences.

1. Download Fences from Stardock.

2. After installing Fences, right click and drag on the desktop. When you let go a box will come up saying “Create New Fence Here”.

2. Select “Create New Fence Here”.  A box will come up asking you to name the fence.  I’m organizing some of my roleplaying files in this example, so I’ll name the Fence “Roleplaying Files”

3. Click “OK” or hit enter, and you’ve made your fence!

4. Just drag the icons you want to add into the fence and they’ll be organized inside!

Fences is very customizable, you can change the color, opacity, show/hide label options, and you can even hide all the icons on the desktop with a double-click if you like.  The program is free and very lightweight so you don’t need to worry about it slowing your system down.  The program claims to be compatible with Vista and XP, however I have only tried it on Vista.

To try it yourself go to the Stardock Fences Site.
