Problem now resolved. Ran a batch file provided by Stardock support which wipes all registry settings post-deinstall of Fences, then physically swapped monitors. It appears the issues is caused because Fences seem to ALWAYS sort standard desktop icons to the monitor assigned ID 1, regardless of which actual monitor is specified as the Primary Monitor inside Windows settings. Which is problematic given you cannot change monitor ID numbers, only the layout.

... and now my actual Fences are migrating to the secondary monitor. I swear there must be a Fence-magnet attached to the right hand side of my secondary monitor.
Thanks. I have sent logs in reply to the email sent. To date, I have : Reinstalled latest video drivers. Flashed latest BIOS. Changed monitor cable order. Changed monitor cable plugging location. Physically relocated monitors. To no avail. It appears the issue is definitively with Fences, as demonstrable by what happens when you disable Fences. Fences on : [IMG]http:/
I can't move the icons at all as long as any sort of Sort is enabled. They just return to the wrong monitor. Turning off sort, I can relocate them, take a snapshot, and reboot, and they stay in place.

You can move the icons as long as sorting is disabled, but as soon as you enable any sorting (eg by Name) the icons relocate to the incorrect monitor on the right. If it m
Hi there, I recently moved to a new office, and took my 2 monitors with me. Now, when Sort is enabled, Fences continuously relocates all my desktop icons (not ones in fences) to my 2nd monitor. I can find no way to get them to stay on the primary monitor, despite it being designated as such and despite every other Windows program treating it as such. The only option is to turn off Sort and manually relocate them, but that's not ideal because as additional icons get
