@Vicent: Thanks for the comment! AFAIK, having many desktop icons does not really affect system performance drastically. I hope you have some decent RAM. And no, Fences will definitely not improve performance in any way. It is only a productivity boosting tool. Remember that Fences too needs memory to run!

Hello, Pras.

I’ve just discovered your blog thanks to this site. I think you write and provide very interesting stuff!

I have a question related to “Fences”, and I’ll be very grateful if you could answer me.

I know that the more icons someone has in his/her Widows XP desktop, the slower his/her computer is, when performing some tasks, or when starting the session, and so on. I mean, desktop icons consume some kind of memory (I don’t know which kind of it). The moral I got was: the less desktop icons, the best for your computer (and for you).

Can “Fences” help to solve that problem? I mean, if you “group” icons in a fence, does it reduce the amount of memory spent, or does it improve PC performance??

Thank you in advance.

@Venkat: Looks like you don't have the .NET framework installed. Download the latest version from here.
