Download of the Week: Stardock Fences

This free application from Stardock – known for their GUI customization tools and computer games – essentially lets you create semitransparent containers that float on the desktop and labels to organize icons within them. It also offers the option to hide all or some of your desktop icons by double clicking on an empty area. The aesthetics of Fences are nice out of the box and can be highly customized to suit your preferences.
It’s a simple concept yet a useful one that will help clean up messy desktops. This handy tool is currently free until August as a preview, and runs on both 32 and 64-bit versions XP, Vista and Windows 7. You can grab your copy here or see more screenshots and videos of Fences in action at the company’s website.

Just as easy to uncheck "Auto Arrange" icons, click/drag icons where you want them, and you don't have yet another process running on your machine. The label idea isn't bad, but you shouldn't need labels to tell you where you put things, seeing as how you know your own desktop... hopefully @_o |
