There are very few people whom use a Windows computer that don’t end up with a cluttered desktop by days or weeks end. You save tons of images, pdf files, documents and whatever other file to your desktop way more often then not. Some have gotten a little smarter and saved to their My Documents folder, but more often then not, it is always the desktop that files get saved to. Windows attempted to implement a utility in XP to clean-up your cluttered desktop, but it becomes more of annoyance more then anything. I think I’ve finally found the best solution, and it’s called Fences.
Fences from Stardock is not only the utlimate desktop organizer, but it also dubs as a desktop ‘hider’ as well. With a quick double-clik sequence, you can hide the icons on desktop very easily from view. Below is a great video demo of Fences in action.
I am a long time techaholic, blogger and IT administrator living in the Midwestern United States. I have been associated with computers and technology almost my entire life. The obsession started when I first set my eyes on one of the Atari Entertainment Systems and hasn't stopped since.
My Dad paid $3000+ for a state of the art PC back in the day, and I have been on one almost my entire life since. It's truly an addiction that I will never give up.
Along with my Tech addiction, I also enjoy scouring blogs and the web for anything that may be interesting to write about. My posts are displayed here at TheWindowsFix, MakeUseOf and ConnectedInternet.
