A Fence for Specialized Apps

...and telling "Programs" to ignore them

from Stardock Forums

I have a number of CAD-oriented programs which I use frequently, and would like to gather their icons together in one fence. Unfortunately, the default Programs fence grabs them out as soon as I drag them into the new CAD fence I created for them. Since they all are executables, I'm at a loss how to "sort and organize" the fence so that the correct programs sort past Programs and into it. I suppose I could include "CAD" in each filename, as a few already have it anyway, and sort by name ("The icon's name contains 'CAD'") and then have the CAD fence process before Programs; but I'd prefer not to have to resort to name-editing.

Any suggestions?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Not really sure on this

But, you can make a new folder in your local drive and fill that folder with shortcut of those CAD-oriented program icons. Link a portal Fences to that folder.

Thanks

That's got it, Basj. I didn't even have to create a new folder. I already had one in my Start Menu with the icons in it. Drag and drop to Desktop. Nice. Thanks!
