How to make Fences start up in hidden state

from Stardock Forums

I love Fences, but I can't really figure out one thing: how do you configure it to start up in the hidden state, so that by default the desktop would look empty after the OS boots up??

Thanks!

 

I use the latest version of the program and XP Pro SP3.

Should just have to hide them before you shut down.

 

At Least thats the way it works in Windows 7

Yup, Fences will remember the last state it was in before the machine was shut down.  I usually keep my Fences hidden this way until I need a shortcut.

We are going to be adding a toggle for this feature as well.  So you can choose hidden after log in or visible.

I am happy to report that this feature will be something you can toggle in Fences 1.0.1.270 which will be released this month.
