If you're losing the battle over your workspace to your desktop icons, a secret weapon is one click away. Fences quickly and easily organizes your icons into separate windows on your desktop, either automatically or manually. Labeling these boxes helps keep programs, photos, files, and Web links together, or you might choose to group by project rather than by file type. You'll be able to drag and drop fences (and the shortcuts within them) anywhere on your desktop.
You can also drag and drop shortcuts anywhere, and resize the fence. A scroll bar pops up so you can find your icons in fences that you've resized to be smaller than their contents. In addition to sorting shortcuts, you can hide them completely by double-clicking the desktop; double-clicking again resurfaces them. Fences helpfully lets you exclude select fences from hiding. Customization tools can change the color scheme or take snapshots of your layout at any time, in case you'd like to switch among them without completely redoing your arrangement.
It would be nice in creating a new fence that was smoother and took fewer steps, and that you could create rules for certain files types to automatically download into specific fences. Fences is great for anyone looking for a solution to desktop clutter.
