Ok ran the command and it returned with: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations. So that looks good. I did find this thread on Microsoft and it sounds like you are guiding down the same path - if so I will follow this and get back to you if I experience anything different than what this thread suggests should happen ( I have not read the whole thing but I am guessing it has a happy ending [e digicons]:bebi:[/e] ). <a title="

OK will do - I agree this does not seem like it should be a Fences problem at this point but may have been something you and your team have seen before. I will run the command and report back later today Thank you for your time and input! -Brian

At this point, fences is uninstalled and to the best of my knowledge all fences3 keys, as well as the AppData, is deleted. However, I believe that this is somehow an artifact that I may have missed. If I reinstall fences, I have the same result BUT I can create fences. And I can not put any of the icons in those fences.

Hello, So I have removed the Fences3 application, deleted the AppData and removed all references in the registry, but the problem still persists. I have made a video and posted it on YouTube below.

Right - my language was a bit off. The fence is named New. A better name ( which I use on my desktop ) would be sort. All new icons in the later case go to the 'Sort' fence and then I place in the appropriate fence. Did not mean to imply that when a new icon is added a new fence would be created. That actually would be a nightmare! [e digicons]:D[/e] [e digicons];P[/e] [e digicons]:P[/e] To speed this up a bit I am going to do the

Only rule that I have is to put new files/folders in the 'New' fence.

Settings are the same as in the image.

In fact, icons cannot be moved at all on the desktop.

Well yes, the rules are certainly not working but also icons are not staying in ANY assigned fence,

At one point all of my icons were nicely living in their corrals and a few months back they stopped playing nice. I do not think that it is related to an upgrade with fences but here is what I have done to try to fix it. Restore from a previous snapshot. Name a new fence and have all new icons automatically go there. Disabled Desktop pages Uninstall and reinstall Fences. Purge and reinstall using the batch file hosted on
