Actually, "blasts" would be more compatible. 

"Windows 10 sends an unprecedented amount of usage data back to Microsoft," explains Kalia, noting that enabling Cortana increases the amount of data passed to Microsoft. Privacy advocates have argued that Windows 10 sends back location, text input, voice input, touch input, websites you visit, and other telemetry data to Microsoft." - EFF

No one needs reminding (I hope) regarding all the trickery which went on around the update ...

Setting up a new win10 PC for my wife and myself. When Fences was installed in her user account, it was also attached (but not activated) to my account. How can I detach from my account, since the loading of my account is now significantly slower. Signed, Helen"s Husband Paul00

I have ObjectDock 2.2 installed on 2 computers. On one, the docks are behind open programs. On the other, the docks are visible through fully open programs. I want the docks to NOT appear when I have a program fully open, yet I can find no setting for this. What am I missing? Can anyone tell me how to hide the docks behind open programs?

Thank you!

I have a single Excel file that will NOT stay in it's Fence.  One one file.. it just keeps jumping out.

I'm sure it's something simple, but I've spent 3 hours on it and I'm giving up.  Suggestions?

Hey all!

I just launched my first kickstarter and it will be of interest to you.  Having participated on these forums for a long time and making many friends over the years I wanted to share it here first.  Have a great day!

Something definitely non-tech for your Sunday. How about a 360° tour of five National Parks?

Google is offering this in celebration of the 100 year Anniversary of the National Parks Service.

The parks include: The Kenjai Fjords of Alaska (with climbing and rappelling – stunning beauty!), Hawai'i Volcanoes (a drone over the craters), Carlsbad Caverns, Bryce Canyon and the Dry Tortugas (diving a shipwreck and Fort Jefferson).

It's accessible right from you...

Hi,

 

my setup is win 10 pro 14393 and windowblinds 10 015

if I try to load a specified theme for a specific app like cmd.exe which is not the theme applied to the the whole system then it continue to use the theme that I applied tot he whole system.

Plus bis: If I exlude cmd for any theme then it will load the win XP theme and not the default win10 theme but that's perhaps a problem with my windows.

I just installed the Windows 10 Anniversary Upgrade. Now, when I click on an icon in one of my Fences, nothing happens. Files or programs will not open.

This is a bug report.

I noticed that if I have two 'different' images as background on my two monitors when taking a snapshot of the screen as Fences does, the image that appears in the subsection entitled 'Layout Snapshots' does not duplicate the screen correctly. It duplicates whatever background I have for my primary monitor.

However, if I restore this snapshot it does not replace the image I have on the secondary monitor with the one contained in the snapshot.

Hi,

 

I have windowblinds 10 installed on the most recent version 10.586.494 1511. With any skin, the time and date and notification and speaker, internet, and laptop battery does not skin. The "show hidden icons" is in the skin. It's completely transparent but the icons and time itself. Those show in white. 

Any ideas on this? I uninstalled it 3 months ago because its annoying. But I like WindowBlinds. There has to be a way to cover this. Any experience would be appreciat...

After installing WB and choosing a theme on the new Windows 10 vs. 1607, there is a problem when I open some kind of small windows like the configuration window of WindowFX.
I have to wait about 4 seconds for to see the content of that window. This problem didn't occur with Windows 10 vs. 1511. Any suggestions?

Windows 10 updated itself and removed the desktop with my fences with their icons and substituted a desktop with its Windows 10 tiles.

 

Anybody know how to get the desktop with my fences back?

 

Thanks

I've got a few folder portals on my desktop, most of which are fine to be sorted alphabetically. One, however, I would like to sort by date. And I was able to change the sorting to date once, but minutes later, it refreshed itself, and went back to alphabetical sorting, and now it's impossible to change it. No matter what sorting method I click, it does nothing. The sorting cannot be changed anymore. Several restarts later, it still can't be changed. The sorting is just permanently s...

It's one of those stories you just can't make up. More power to Ed Bott at ZDNet:

"If you want to be a Windows expert, one of the most important lessons to learn is skepticism. Whenever someone claims to have a magic fix-it tool or a MakeRocketShipGoFast registry tweak, you should keep it away from any system you care about until you can confirm it does what it says it does...One of the first red flags for me was the information embedded in the file itself.
