This new version of Fences (3.1.3.3) is Great!
Always one for using Windows to collect and categorize an extensive record of my internet exploring, it was quite a blow when Internet Explorer bit the dust.
The ability to place a link icon on the Desktop by means of a simple key combo was an important part of the way Windows was intended originally to be used I believe. I have folders full of them - and now, thanks to Fences, Desktops. Windows though started to sour on their original intentions about the time that doing a Google Search got to be like talking to Gracie Allen. Perhaps they thought a full desktop looked unsightly. (I don't know how they would know how everyone's desktop looks.)
In any case I've long found the advantages of Fences worth the trouble of having to clear the upper right corner spot on my Desktop to receive the next Icon. (...though the process of reducing the browser screen to enable dragging of of the icon in order to get it there is a big nuisance and an inexplicable imposition by Microsoft et al on the computing world.)
I was pleasantly surprised today to find on dragging another icon that it went right to the square where I dragged it (not the upper right one for some reason) and stayed there! This is a wonderful development, and it's so nice to see progress in the PC world rather than the more customary direction of flow.
I'm glad Stardock has come up with this most welcome fix. Thanks for making my icon hoarding so much easier!
