You stated "Your linked image has nothing to do with Fences." You need to read my replies before comminting on them.

Apparently this forum doesn't permit one to edit one's own post. So, this image will replace the one I initially posted. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dwhpw61b9j7mpgi/screenshot%20of%20desktop.jpg?dl=0

Perhaps I'm using the wrong terminolgy in my title of this question. By "New Fence" I mean a new rectangular box with a heading bar at the top. One of these A FENCE https://www.dropbox.com/s/3wqs8vrv0opekfz/Solomon%20Tuah%20Drawing.png?dl=0 I don't see an option to create a new one of these. TIA for you help. cellistphil </p

[quote who="basj" reply="10" id="3826713"] Maybe the reboot helps. I am not sure. Try rebooting your system. And do report back. [/quote] Your advice to use the Organize led to the solution. Reboot wasn't necessary. I consider the issue resolved. My only remaining concern was/is about recognizing it as a bug in version 4. Is there a defined process to report a bug? Again, thanks for your help. cellistphil.

@Basj Yes, the Organize options are what we want. You didn't explain how to get to them, so here is how: STEPS TO NAVIGATE TO CONFIGURE, ORGANIZE OPTIONS * right-click inside the open space between shortcuts inside a fence Image below * click Sort by * click Organize * choose the desired "send new..." options NOTE that the "send new..." refer to "files". You are actually sending shorcuts, not fi

I uninstalled START10 and restarted Windows. Uninstall was supposed to restore the entire taskbar, but the search icon is not there. Cortona is there. I don't and won't use Cortona. I need the search icon restored. How to do that? cellistphil.

CUT-AND-PASTE DOESN'T FIX IT Cut-and-paste won't work because it tries to paste it with the same name and it doesn't let you changes the target name. The 2 options are SKIP and CANCEL. The program that I'm trying to create a shortcut for isn't in the Program Files or Program Files (x86) so creating the shortcut in the first place is not straightforward. I'd rather not spend my time doing that again. Instead, I did severa

This may be happening because Startdock doesn't think I've paid for the product. See https://forums.stardock.com/504736/many-shortcut-missing . I suppose I can just uninstall and re-install, but that would probably sendme back through the same type of problem I'm already having. Truth is, this open issue is really only causing me to not be able to see one shortcut inside the fence; I <span style="text-decoration: line-

If you wish to write a letter to try to solve your issue, do know, Stardock is practicing Forum support. So, you're suppose to get help from here.

I did cut-and-paste, copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop. Same behavior on all three (what I describe in my initial posting here.) The behavior is as if Fences isn't installed. Or isn't started. ??? Thanks. cellistphil.

When I copy a shortcut and paste it into an existing fence, for an instant it appears in the fence but then it simply pastes the shortcut onto the desktop, not in the fence. I'm running the version 4 beta. TIA for you help. cellistphil.

I don't see an "About" anywhere. How can I learn what version of Fences I'm running. One reason I'm asking is that one of the new features announced for the Version 4 Beta is new behavior for the Wkey+D. It seems that my current version already does that, but I don't think I'm running the beta. any suggestions? Thanks. cellistphil.

I retract I've now downloaded and activated and I'm happy. I've been billed twice for my one download. I take responsibility for the double-billing but I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to find a way to get a refund of one of those charges. Manage Account. Accounts and Billing.

Running Fences 3.1.3.3. I went to the upgrade page, filled in the form including credit card stuff, got back "paid 8.55", the nothing. It didn't take me to where I can do the download. How to do it? TIA. CellistPhil.

I'm not certain that I understand the Wkey+D press-and-hold. The press-and-release, shows the desktop. press-and-release again puts you back to your open windows, obscuring the desktop. What does the new Wkey+D do differently? Thanks. cellistphil. BTW. My avatar doesn't look anything like the real me.[e digicons]:\[/e] Is it possible to upload something else?

@Basj I did some searches on answers.microsoft and found that Themes and Related settings controls the background color of the screen (among other things), regardless of the version of Windows 10. Apparently Fences has nothing to do with the background color. CellistPhil.

@Basj Any reason you're not updating to latest Windows 10 version? Fences V3.1.3.x is best running with latest Windows version. I schedule an update about once a month, or sooner if Windows Update settings nags me. It hasn't been near a month, but I went ahead and did an update this morning a
