I believe it's a Windows sys function using "rundll32.exe" because an new rundll32 appeared in my processes after I installed it. As Far as I can tell just by observation.

I remember when firing up 'Fences.exe', memory usage was around 30k. However, now that my desktop is all tidy and the customisation interface has been closed, I can't find 'fences.exe' anymore. Does anyone know the name of the process please? :) Just to add to the discussion again… I remember when firing up ‘Fences.exe’, memory usage was around 30k.

I downloaded and icon hider before but wasn't too happy with it, and recently I've got into the habit of just throwing temporary files onto the desktop so it looks terribly cluttered and I can't see the (admittedly) plain wallpaper anymore.

But Fences IS the one!!!! I promote this one to ALL my friends Geek or not!!! The biggest reason I like it is because it's already a windows function, Fences is not a program wasting valuable memory.

Now I have just installed Fences and I already see that this is a keeper. It does not distract you from doing the tasks you have to do. It's just simple and does what it should do and nothing more and that is perfect. I have only made it a little more transparent and formed my own structure on the desktop and I think I will keep it that way. Great tip and a great piece of software again, of course from Stardock. These guys have an interesting company. Thanks! A long time ago I have used such a program ones (on win 98), but it didn’t add any value and it was distracting.

But I like the idea: having a box where to throw all the temp files and shortcuts. after expiration date, either they keep it free and I keep it, either I’ll find something else.

Another nice feature of the KDE implementation is that there can be "fences" or "folder views" of any folder on the computer, not just the Desktop!

That can be useful to basically 'hide' some icons from view. Haven’t tried it yet but it seems that it can be sized to have scroll bars. That can be useful to basically ‘hide’ some icons from view.
