Fences is a pretty simple app that helps to keep my desktop organized. I have some icons grouped by the task they relate to (work/home) and some documents that I frequently access. I can quickly roll up the fences that I don't need at the moment to keep the desktop uncluttered. It's also great to be able to hide all of my desktop icons when presenting or sharing my desktop on Zoom.

I started with Fences on Win 10 and now they have an even better product on win 11. There are four main reasons why I love it: 1. I create Desktop Categories that change as my needs dictate. When working on a project where there are just a lot of icons (Apps and/or Files) together I create a Fence Folder on my Desktop. 2. It removes all the clutter from the desktop in a much more visually appealing look than a win folder. (Remember when there was a crazy amount of icons on the desktop, dumb folder after dub folder... now they are gone.) This capability also allows me to unplug my large screen from my Laptop, resulting in aggregating my work down to my smaller Laptop Screen without any desktop mess. 3. With screen sharing from Teams and Zoom I'm always screen sharing. Now no matter what personal or work I keep on my desktop it is on my desktop privately (there is a view on every Fence I set that allows it to Roll-Up), and no one knows what is inside. 4. The value is great or I say it is inexpensive so that no one can not afford a more organized desktop.

- Buy once use forever (I've been using it for 5+ years, and it's still receiving updates) - Ability to automatically sort desktop files saved to your desktop into 'fences' based on file type, name, etc. (huge time saver). - Ability to double click to hide fences and all icons on your desktop (convenient for hiding the content of your desktop when conducting training, presenting in Microsoft Teams meetings, or taking screenshots) - Ability to set a fence as a portal to a folder. In my case, I link it to my downloads folder, so I don't have to open the folder continually. - Trusted established developer.
