Fences enables you to organize your desktop by setting visual boundaries for your desktop icons. The default settings will organize your desktop icons by type (Programs, Web Links, Documents etc.) but you can easily customize the layout by creating your own fences. Each fence area will keep your icons within it`s boundary and add scrollbars if the number of icons exceeds the size of the area you defined. In addition to fenced areas, the program also offers Folder Portals (access folder content directly from the desktop) and Desktop Pages, which allow you to quickly switch between multiple desktops.
