How to clean install Fences 2 to eliminate corrupt install [Resolved]

from Stardock Forums

Recently noticed some missing files folder and .exe's on my desktop. The onl;y way I was able to find them was going to the Desktop folder through Windows Explorer. Why they are hidden by Fences I haven't a clue. I fiddled with attributes and uninstalled then reinstalled but the same fences with the same issues pop back up after reinstalling. So I uninstalled deleted all Fences folders I could find in Program Files and App Data and reinstalled again but once again my old CORRUPTED fences appear with missing .exe

How do I start over fresh? Is there a tool to cleanup the mess? Reinstalling Windows seems a bit harsh there must be a better way.

The system I'm having issues with is Z97 Intel based running Windows 10 Pro Ver. 1709 (OS Build 16299.192)

Okay Thanks anyway but I figured it out. I deleted everything but the registry key. Once I found it I deleted it. After reinstall I was able to start again from square one.

For those who may have the same issue:

the key to delete is "Fences"

Located here> "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Fences"

The reinstall routine will reestablish the key so no worries.

If you are worried, backup/export the Fences key to a location of your choosing before deleting it.
