Fences Desktop Organiser

I recommend a lot of programs on my site and in my newsletters but I believe that this little beauty is one of the best because within 2 minutes of clicking the link your Desktop icons will be organised and you will never waste time hunting for something!

This is the best program I've seen for months and it's Free!

I see a lot of Windows installations when I'm repairing computers and the DeskTop of the vast majority is a disorganised mixture of files, shortcuts, programs, downloads and folders. It's a wonder that anything is ever found! I recommend a lot of programs on my site and in my newsletters but I believe that this little beauty is one of the best because within 2 minutes of clicking the link your Desktop icons will be organised and you will never waste time hunting for something again.

The program is called Fences. I take a good deal of care with the arrangement of my icons and keep them to a minimum but this tool organised them instantly into Links, Programs, Files, Folders and Recent 'things'. 'Fences' creates small blocks for your icons where you can group them together in a titled, "fenced-in" space. All theses fences are fully editable and movable (size and position) and you can create your own. Ultimately, Fences makes your workspace more workable!

The first thing you need to do is go to the Fences download page and the installation is quick and painless. At the end of the installation you will be asked if you want to choose a predefined layout or create your own fences. Either way is simple. If you click the predefined method, you will then be given a few possible layout choices. Choose the one that best suits your needs to complete the installation.

SpyBot Anti Spyware

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.
