#HOW TO RESTART FENCES APP PRO#
Should I uninstall Fences Pro and request a re-fund?Īnyone else experiencing same or simuliar issues? I am a pretty vanilla system mostly MS office and a few card games.

I then received a error message that Exloper stopped working, the Explorer restarted clearing all ICONS and apparently stopping Fences PRO on restart all ICONS display in there Windows 7 location for 2 or 3 seconds then Fences restarted and the ICONS appeared in the Fences but the ICON that was modified was re-located to the default new ICON fence. I then selected an area outside the ICON to implement the modification. You can try it out if you like and check out the options, perhaps you will find it more convenient to use.Īuto Hide Desktop icons works on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.After installing Fences PRO I wanted to rename an ICON that I had placed into a FENCE I right clicked the ICON and selected "Rename", the cursor was moved to the text area and I modified the name. Thankfully, it does not rearrange the desktop icons which is quite beneficial, if there are a few good features chipped into the next version, perhaps Auto Hide desktop Icons can become more usable. While its portability can prove to be beneficial as compared to fences, nonetheless the unavailability of an exit option diminishes that utility. There should be an option to organize the desktop icons and an exit button to release the application. The timer needs to have better time management features than just a 3-100 second limit. The concept of Auto Hide Desktop icons might not be bad, but it needs a lot of work before it can match Fences. The unavailability of a system tray context menu and an exit option also is quite annoying as there is no easy way of exiting this app. Although some people might find this useful, but I personally found this feature to be quite distasteful, considering that the Disable option is already present to pause the app. For example, if you have set the timer to 3 seconds, you may see the timer continuously resetting and not hiding icons if your mouse is over or near the main interface of Auto Hide. Moreover, the timer resets continuously if the mouse is in proximity of the opened interface, which can be quite annoying. There is no option to organize the desktop in Auto Hide Desktop icons, since its main purpose is to hide desktop icons and optionally the taskbar. When comparing Auto hide Desktop icons with Fences (a popular tool from Stardock), I would say that Fences is far more useful. All that can be done is to either kill the process manually or to log off the system to remove Auto Hide Desktop Icons from the system tray (provided it is not configured to be enabled at system startup). There is no context menu, which means that you cannot exit the application. Unfortunately the system tray only displays a single icon which launches the app and starts the timer. To pause this app you can check the disable check box.
