Which???

I need a way to organize icons inside of folder windows. Fences works well on my Win10 desktop. I need something similar inside of folder windows. Do you make anything like this?

You need better descriptions of your software. You have many choices of excellent apps, but give little info on your website.

1. By "folders window", do you mean a "folder portal"? 

2. It might be really helpful if you posted a screen shot of what you mean.

Have you checked out Folder Portals in Fences? Click on each item and follow the instructions.

Hmmm

I've been using Fences 3. Is Folder Portals an addition to Fences 4 ?

You want a screenshot? Not much to show you. It's a folder. I want to organize the icons.

Folder portals is also a part of Fences 3. Try it, and see if it's what you're looking for. This is from Fences 3:

No go. It says "Files in a Folder Portal cannot be manually repositioned." I can change to certain orders but not reorganize them as I want. 

As I originally asked: is there way to (manually) organize icons in a folder window?

That is controlled by Windows, so no, but you could organize your shortcuts by putting them in separate Fences, i.e. by type or by your own choosing.

That answer does not quite make sense to me. The desktop is controlled by Windows also, but Fences gives a way to move organize and group icons.

Not in a folder window, but you can set the sort order to "None" in a fence and move the icons around. A folder portal is controlled by Windows explorer. I really don't know how to better explain it.

That is not quite correct. Yes, you can move them around but they quickly reposition themselves in the grid pattern. I can't place them the way I want, with some over here and some over there.

Make more fences?

No such program that I am aware of currently exists.

For that to happen I believe you would want to find a file explorer alternative. Of the few that I know of  none function the way you are wanting them to.

 

With that said. The idea of Stardock making their own file explorer alternative actually would be kind of cool. Not a bad idea.

Yep. I think that will do it.
