Digital Home Thoughts: Stardock Lets You Fence In Your Icons

"Stardock's Fences exactly addresses this issue. It allows you to organize your desktop icons and create fences. Visualize fences as blocks of icons (shaded areas) grouped together. Now it becomes very easy to organize my icons using Fences according to the categories I had arranged earlier!"

Neowin has put up a quick review of the community preview of Stardock's Fences which is available free directly from the Stardock website. Fences is for all you people out there, you know who you are, whose desktops are all a flutter with icons. Instead of your desktop being one big open free for all, Fences corrals all your pictures, documents, shortcuts and who knows what else into neat little groups. The concept is simple, but Stardock looks to have made handling fences really easy. I'll admit that I keep my desktop very spartan so Fences may not be for me, but it grinds my gears when I see friends whose desktops look like a troop of 2 year olds have gone through it. Now I have at least one program I can suggest to them to clean their act up.
