Microsoft is simply incapable of “getting it right”.

“Terry Myerson, Microsoft's Windows honcho, says the plebs have to wait in line, behind 5 million "insiders." And volume-license availability won't be until next month, either.” – Richi Jennings

So now this, on top of just who is entitled to a free upgrade to this gem, W10.

Hi Folks - I am a pensioned computer geek from Utrecht, The Netherlands, from where The Tour De France started yesterday and is now on its way to the province of Zeeland and Belgium and ultimately to Paris' Finish by end of the month.

Regularly I find myself having forgotten to update my Fences Snapshots and, since my two-screen wide desktop is loaded with icons and links, this can be dangerous.

So - how could I automate taking Snapshots say, once a day?

Every month or so I could th...

Hello.

Yesterday I turned my computer on and discovered my fences and the icons inside them were gone.I am aware of the double-click function.The program was still installed because I could still access configure fences using right click. I uninstalled the software and my icons returned. Decided to reinstall fences and still have the same problem,no fences or icons other than the icons that were not in a fence.Double click works with the icons that weren't in a fence.

The version that I am using is 2.20.0.862.  My assumption is that the settings have not been changed since the release of 2.10 of the product. 

I read the post concerning an apparent Autohide Bug in this forum, and I too am experiencing an issue with the current version of ObjectDock Plus, in that the 'Autohide' function along with all other 'Accessibility' functions are 'greyed out' in the settings section of ObjectDock.

Any ideas on how to correct my issue.  Windows Explorer crashes when any changes are made to a file when Fences is enabled causing an Explorer reboot.  This did not happen prior to the last update.  Running Windows 7 and Fences 2.13.

Thanks

Well, I've got a couple of Windowblinds skin (fron Boxxi, neone6,..) with animated taskbar.

The question is : how to disable taskbar animation ? Is there a way to disable taskbar animation, in Windowblinds settings or in Windows 7 OS ? I already tried in Windows 7 settings but it didn't work, I guess if Windowblind skin is applied it has got priority. Any suggestion ?

 

Thanks

Watching weather channel and a report of multiple tornados, 14 counted, around the region. Isn't Stardock in that area? Hope everything is ok.

Win8 64bit, latest IP version, iIcons by Renato

I have tried all the "Rebuild..." options, rebooting, setting back to default and then choosing the iIcons set again, but I keep getting what's shown in the pic. When the folder first opens up, all the icons are correct, but then they change into the mish-mash shown, which looks like a mix of iIcons, Flash Live, and Windows Default. Any ideas?



What is odd is that when I right click and use the "Customize" to reset the icon, it's a...

Hello,

How do I force Fences to put my Steam games shortcuts into my games fence?

 

It wants to keep putting them into my inernet links fence instead of my games fence.

All of sudden when I click on the "Customize Fences" or "Configure Fences" from right click nothing happens. Even the drive light does not light up. I can't configure Fences. I uninstalled and re-installed the program but still no luck. I don't remember when it was the last time that used those utilities so I can't determine what caused the change. I uninstalled the program with Revo Uninstaller and cleaned all folders. Re-installed the program and still no luck.

Please help
