Fences

Hate a cluttered desktop? Try out Fences by Stardock, the makers of the wonderful Windows Blinds desktop skinning app. What Fences does is, it lets you group icons into a box called fences, so you can have various icons grouped together for Work, Mail, movies, music, shortcuts, games, misc etc. When double-clicked on an empty area on the desktop, all the Fences with icons in them disappear, when double-clicked, they reappear again.





Fences is versatile enough to be easily resizable and moveable, as you see fit, and has centralized control. It lets you appreciate the wallpaper sans the clutter.

Check out the Youtube video on how it works

This is a fantasitc list...I was little sceptical when i saw the Free ware list header thinking the usual apps will find there way here..but these are some really good apps...Perhaps a note on how memory-hungry these apps will help a lot...Thanks for the effort

Never install any freeware since nothing comes for free in life. All freeware applications log data in some way and send them back to their developers. Stick to your standardapps for security reasons.
