Sharing fences with other users on computer

I've been running Fences on my home computers a while now and recently bought a PRO-version aswell since I just love the software. That got me thinking that I would love to use it at work aswell to make it easier for both me and my coworkers (who share a computer with personal user accounts but a shared desktop through the "All Users" folder in XP.) but I haven't found how to do that. I would love to be able to setup a desktop with appropriate fences that are shared across all users on the computer and even better would it be if I could also lock the fences so that only a few of us can change them. Any possibility for this?

Fences can only be locked in the sense that the fences themselves can't be moved. The contents, however, can still be moved. While the Fences installation itself can be shared between accounts, the registry entries are not shared between accounts, so the settings don't carry over.

Any chance that the registry entries could be shared via a setting in the future? It would make a really nice feature for shared computers.

I don't have any information about the potential for sharing settings between accounts at this time. One thing that you can do is export your registry entries from the account already setup with Fences, then import them into the un-configured account.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Fences
