InfoWorld’s “Truly Awesome Tools” for Win7 Power Users–Includes Fences!

September 9, 2010 11:00:12 AM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

InfoWorld has published an article of the “Truly Awesome tools for Windows 7 power users”, and has included Fences by Stardock as one of them!

If you're anything like me, Stardock Fences is essential. My dual-screen desktop was littered with icons for docs, videos, PDFs, folders, and so on until I found Stardock Fences. This tool helps clean up and organize all those icons. There is a free version and a Pro version (with more customization features) for $9.99. In less than five minutes, I had my desktop organized into fences that made sense for my needs.

Impressive. But not for me. i have Fences and though its the free version it does what I need it to do. As for the rest, I got enough toys to play with.

Spencer, What's your take on WindowsMedia Live?

Fences reminds me too much of Windows 3.11.

 

I've tried Connectify a while back and like it so much that I stopped using my external hardware router. Its so much easier and seems to have a longer range as well.

I love Fences, even though I rarely keep a cluttered Desktop. the double-click-hide is what makes it for me. I love it to death.

I wish there was a program that allowed me to COMPLETELY alter the appearance of Windows.

Don't get me wrong, I love WindowBlinds. But some things just aren't possible with it. And that... bugs me a bit.

 

I'm sure turning windows into an amazing holographic interface like the kinds seen in Iron Man would take a few extra registry hacks...

The only icons on my desktop are in ODP 2. I don't like a cluttered desktop. My room is another thing, though.
