How to install fences without mucking with all my icons (solved)

from Stardock Forums

I just got Object Desktop and when I installed Fences I hit the button that said I will create my own fences and didn't want it to mess with my desktop, however instead of that it moved a whole bunch of my carefully organized icons all over the place.  It even moved icons from one monitor to another.  I've tried uninstalling and deleting the Fences directory under Users/AppData and reinstalling.  I've tried all sorts of settings.  How can I get Fences to install without screwing up my existing desktop?  Fortunately, I have software to restore my icons to where they all were before Fences blew up all my monitors, but I'd really like to try using Fences without having to completely rebuild everything from chaos first.

Thanks,

fences

I was finally able to get it to install without corrupting the desktop by deleting the Fences registry key, deleting the Fences directory, then reinstalling.  It asked me the same question about not arranging my desktop and I answered it the same way, and for some reason it worked this time.
