There will be hundreds and possibly as many as 1,400, eventually. However, relax…it won’t happen all at once. It’ll be a slow rollout because no one wishes to destabilize the internet, right?

ICANN believes this will improve things…I’m not convinced. I think there’ll be a lot of confusion without a whole lot of improvement. We’re talking about gTLDs (generic top level domains) like .com, .net, .org and .edu. There will be .google, .ford, .apple, .bike, .wed and .book to be follo...

Fences - "Bring to Front"

≪ Previous: Solid State Hard Drives

What are the chances we could get a "Bring to Front" feature added to Fences?

Right away, when I started using Fences, I noticed that it would be great if I could bring a Fence forward when I have other things on my screen.

I know I can use "Windows - Show Desktop", but popping up a Fence for a moment would be very popular I'm sure.

I hope to get a response from Stardock on this.

Thanks

I’ve really gotten to like SkyDrive, so much in fact that I use it way more than Dropbox now. The integration with Windows 8 and other devices such as Windows Phone and Surface are also a big reason for that. There’s been an ongoing trademark dispute between Microsoft and BSkyB in which Microsoft agreed to change the SkyDrive name. They revealed this week that the new branding will be ‘OneDrive’.

So I've had this problem for months now, been back and forth with Stardock technical support and nothing they suggest seems to fix it. I've used Windowblinds for years and apart from one issue with UAC a few years ago I've never had any big problems with it. But at the end of my tether I've disabled it this morning as I simply cannot fix this issue.

Basically what happens is my taskbar keeps locking up. By locking up I mean I click the icons and nothing happens, I can't pe...

It seems that HP agrees that the Win8 UI is problematic.

Sure, MS is rumored to be perhaps thinking about maybe bringing the start button back. I wonder if this might open their eyes a bit.

With Windows 8 and it's updates community members have probably once again been changing their desktops to suite their needs and desires. Stardock has provided several programs to help folks get back what most thought were useful functions. New programs such as Start8, ModernMix, Launch8 and Decor8 along with updates to existing programs have made transitioning to the new OS much easier.

So with taking the above in to consideration I was wondering just how much community ...

Good Morning Community.

I am at a loss.

Just this past Christmas I installed Windows 7 on a new Kingston 240gig SSD. I kept my 3 Seagate 500gig SATA drives connected for data.

It's been about 2 weeks and then one by one my drives have been disappearing. I'm down to one secondary drive left.

When the first one went, I thought I lost a drive and proceeded to load my backup on the second one. BUT, then less than a week later, my second drive disappears too. (Thi...

Hi,

I can successfully make Fences subject to, "Games", "Apps", etc, but I have a number of pdf shortcuts in a windows folder on desktop which I frequently access.

Issue is, when I drag the shortcuts into the Fences group, they go direct onto the Desktop & not into the Fence!!

can you please advise.
