Stardock Fences...a sure time saver

Win 7 seems to have everybody's ire up with the icons not staying put on the desktop. I have several dozen shortcuts and icons on the desktop, and every time I log in, they're always moving about. I tried every quick fix suggested...short of messing with the registry...to no avail.

I found this web site http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/ and did some thorough checking of reviews.

For only $10, this app allows you to categorize icons and desktop shortcuts in their own little windows (fences). There's a transparency feature that allows each fence to have 100% opacity all the way to 100% transparency.

100% awesome...EVERYTHING stays put. My only complaint is that it should be a standard feature on Windows.

Further cool stuff....

It appears there's no limit to the number of fences you can put on a desktop. It allows you to swipe through multiple "pages" of icons...just like on a smart phone.
