Where is the link to download?

Organize better your home page, not turns complicated the life of yours friends.

Thanks!

No one has ever been in the position to quickly hide several sensitive folders / items in your desktop from prying eyes? But since that person is not going to use your computer and you work with them very often it´s not convenient to pull them in an encrypted volume.

Fences is able to hide certain items in the desktop with a double click. If you could do the same but with a pass to unlock it and a user defined hotkey for hiding / showing it would be perfect.

This didn’t seem to work for me, either. I’m using Win7x64.

Didn’t work for me. No error messages, nothing happens. Running WinXp SP3.

But I searched the forum at the download site and see another simpler solution that doesn’t even require a program!

Just right-click on the desktop. Under “Arrange Icons By”, there is a setting called “Show Desktop Icons” that you can toggle on/off.

The only problem I encounter with this approach is that it takes about 15 seconds to hide/show the desktop icons. But then, I have about 100 icons on my desktop.

Samer, no need to hurry anything with the rss, I visit your site almost daily, so I will not miss anything. Look forward to the new theme.

I know of a similar program… called Stardock Fences. The difference is that you double click on the desktop to hide the icons. You should check it out too!

Guys. I know my RSS feed is broken, but unsure how to fix. Hopefully I will manage to get it back up in a day or two.

I’ve found a brand new theme that I have decided to move to. Hopefully doing so will fix the problem (if I don’t find a solution earlier).

That’s one cool, simple app. I am going to try it.

I also have trouble with the RSS feed from your site. It won’t load, since a day or two I think. I use Firefox and my RSS feeds are on the Firefox bookmark toolbar (or whatever it is called in English).
