Fences is a program designed to keep your desktop. If you’d like someone to come in and tidy up the place for you, Fences may be worth checking out, especially given its low price tag. 8 Stardock announced that Fences 4 is now available for Windows 10 and 11 with a Windows 11-style UI and a new Peek feature. Toggling the Fences on and off with the Win+CTRL+Space key is slightly better, but not much so.įences, therefore, is somewhat like a digital maid. As a lefty, I mouse with my left hand, the same side as the Win key resides, which made it all a bit awkward. I don't hate the 11 Start Menu, just wish I could expand it and add these Fences-like groups. This is the biggest loss from 10 > 11 in my opinion. These could, but don't, exist in Windows 11. The appeal here is obvious: your desktop is simply a space upon which to store files, so accessing those files, and only those files, makes sense. It is curious though that the Windows 10 Start Menu had 'Stardock Fences-like' groups that you could create move and customise. In Fences, that functionality is supplemented by a second keyboard shortcut, Win+Space, which toggles your Fences - and the files you want to interact with - without banishing every window on your screen. But, like many gamers, our desktops have become cluttered with various launchers, apps to control your RGB, and - if you're a streamer - your favorite broadcast software as well. (The Win+D shortcut is a much more efficient way of accomplishing the same task, but not everyone knows that keyboard shortcut, either.) Article posted on At Stardock, we make great games and play many of the latest titles. When you do so, your windows disappear and you’ll see everything that’s on your desktop. No, the very right-hand edge - there’s just a tiny sliver of invisible screen real estate that triggers this function. You may or may not know that Windows allows you to quickly reveal your desktop by navigating to the right-hand edge of the taskbar. Cool feature - double-click on your desktop and all the fenced in groups hide. There’s one other feature that Fences pulls off fairly well, capitalizing on Windows’ poor communication skills. Been looking for something like this for a while. Fences solves this by allowing you to click the title bar of each fence, which “rolls up” the fence, concealing its contents. The “problem,” of course, is that those Fences still shows those files - a problem for those users who prefer a clean desktop, anyway. That’s essentially what Fences is designed to do: Serve as an auto-filing system of sorts, where files and folders are automatically routed to the correct fence to clear up your desktop.
