CNET Editors' review

by: CNET staff on October 09, 2012

Fences is an app that allows you to organize your desktop icons into categories to un-clutter your workspace. The latest version, Fences 2.0, adds new features to help you get and stay organized even faster.

The interface of the newer version is much like before. The fences look the same - they're clean and blend well, and you can adjust the transparency and color to suit your needs. You'll also still be able to easily sort your files and program icons into multiple fences on your desktop. One of our favorite features, Auto-Organizer, also lets you choose which files will automatically go into the fence you specify--this is handy if you frequently add new files to your computer.

Fences 2.0 also comes with a couple new features, Folder Portals and Desktop Pages. Folder Portals lets you create a fence from any folder and organize the contents on your desktop for quick access. Desktop Pages lets you set up multiple screens, each with their own set of fences, and navigate between them just by clicking and dragging. While we found it fairly easy to set up and use the fences, we liked the user guidance and tutorials so you can make sure you're using Fences to its fullest potential.

Users who are overwhelmed by desktop clutter will like the flexibility of Fences 2.0. The installation is easy and quick and you can try the product free for 30 days to see if it's right for you.

Editors' note: This is a review of the full version of Fences 2. The trial version has limited features.

Fences eliminates desktop clutter with adjustable fenced areas that organizes desktop objects into logical groups for quick access. Over 5 million users around the world rely on Fences every day to keep their PC desktops organized for quick and easy access to their programs and files they use most. The new Fences 2.0 features will now keep frequently used folders visible and organized on the desktop by creating a fence from any folder. Customization options direct Fences to automatically place new icons in designated fenced areas. Additionally, simple double click can hide or unhide all fence groups revealing an unobstructed view of the desktop.

Features: Create shaded areas called "fences" on your desktop in which you can place and organize icons. Folder Portals: View and organize the contents of any folder as a fence on your desktop. Desktop Pages: You can now have multiple pages of "fences" on your desktop. To flip a page, just take your mouse cursor to the edge of your screen and click and drag a new page of "fences" onto your desktop. Double-click blank space on your desktop and all of your icons will fade out. Double-click again and they will return. Define rules for where your icons are placed and how they are arranged. When a new icon gets added, from an installer for instance, it will be automatically added to your preferred "fence". Customize the look and color of your fences.

The police were called to intervene on Saturday when animal protectionists at Flatey Mrum and Heinabergsaurar near Hfn in Hornafjrur in Southeast Iceland tore down approximately 500 meters (1,640 feet) of fences to prevent reindeer from getting caught in them.

rni Stefn rnason, one of the activists, told ruv.is that wild reindeer which get entangled in the wires sometimes suffer a slow and painful death. This has proven a problem for more than a decade, he stated.

rni added that he had been contacted by a reindeer supervisor ten days ago, who had expressed concern over the situation because once again, reindeer have been found, stuck together by wires or even dead.

Because of a lack of action, people had gathered together to take matters into their own hands and remove the fences which are illegal, rni maintained. He claimed that the local authorities in Hfn should have removed them a long time ago but not done their duty.

According to RV, measures had been taken to make the fences safer by stringing them up after many reindeer got caught in them two years ago but now they have loosened again, proving dangerous for the wild animals.

Updated: Monday, 28 Oct 2013 17:42 | Comments Paddy Power gave Don Cossack a quote of 14-1 for the RSA

Don Cossack staked an early claim for the RSA Chase at Cheltenham by making a pleasing start to his career over fences at Galway.

The imposing six-year-old, owned by Gigginstown House Stud, failed to live up to high expectations as a novice hurdler last term, but showed where his future lies with an easy victory in the W.B. Gavin & Co. EBF Beginners Chase

Toon River made it a true test and led to two out, where Andrew Lynch brought Don Cossack to challenge and the Gordon Elliott-trained 10-11 favourite duly pulled away after jumping the last to power home by 20 lengths from Dressedtothenines.

"The (low-lying) sun down the back didn't help but he was clever and should improve a lot for that. He was only in second gear there," said Lynch.

Paddy Power gave Don Cossack a quote of 14-1 for the RSA.

Royal Moll backed up a bumper win with victory on her jumping bow in took the cancercarewst.ie Mares Maiden Hurdle.

The Willie Mullins-trained 4-5 favourite, ridden by Paul Townend, jumped ahead at the last to score by a length and a quarter from Catimini.

"The (low-lying) sun down the back didn't help but he was clever and should improve"

Townend said: "She did it well in the end as she stays very well. She missed the second-last a bit, but she jumped adequately. She got away with that trip on the ground, but she needs further."
