I didn't see a way to turn it off... even end the process with process explorer or task manager. How do you turn it off without uninstalling it?

 

Also, does anybody else get the problem of using virtual desktops and changing to a new desktop, but the same wall appears? This only happens when I am running Fences.

 

Thank for the help

Not sure there is a way to do that...I find them so useful that the question never occurred to me.

email Jeff Bargmann or one of the Mods...they'll help you for sure. Or you could email: fencesbeta@stardock.com

Just don't have any icons on the desktop and you won't see fences unless you double click on the desktop.

Open up the fences window, enter the "tools" tab, click on the tiny blue "more tools..." link on the bottom of the window. You'll find a checkbox labeled "Enable Fences" there, just uncheck it.

Hey guys thanks for the info. I will give the email a try (and the tip to look under tools... I will do that as soon as I start up my netbook again)

Quite frankly I would have never known that I couldn't turn it off either, but I like using Stardocks Virtual Desktop. I mean, Virtual Desktop still works and all, its just that the wallpapers don't change when you switch desktops. Getting the same wallpaper can be confusing sometimes.

I will let them know about the situation of the virtual desktops... hopefully they can fix that cause the cobination of WindowBlinds, Virtual Desktops, KeepSafe and Fences is just fantastic on a small screen format. Saves allot of time and enery... and helps organize things.

 

I am going to try to teach my Mom to use it cause I think she needs it more than me (but I know what she is going to say... "I need to see all the icons on the desktop so I know what I am looking for (missing)."
