Stardock.com Your Desktop Organizer
If your desktop looks anything like mine, your icons have invaded your space and eaten your whole desktop. Furthermore, trying to organize these icons into some sort of system can be daunting at best.
Well, I have good news for you. Today I was introduced to a program called Stardock (stardock.com…click on ‘fences’) that will organize your icons into easily navigable ‘fences’ that you can customize with your own titles and needs.
With Stardock you have the option to rename these fences, give it your own design colors and move them around to suit your needs and tastes. I implemented this program this morning and I love it! Now my desktop is not splattered with icons spread across the screen but organized and easy to navigate when I want to find a file, program or website.
Watch the video above and see for yourself what it can do for your desktop. The program is presently free to use so take advantage of that fact. Cut out your desktop confusion and create fences that will make your Internet life much more pleasant to navigate and you won’t pull your hair out searching for that “lost among many…icon!”
Here’s a screen shot of my own desktop (click it for a closer view)…cleaned up with Stardock fences. As you can see there are scroll bars (you can ‘hide’ these scroll bars, but I made mine visible for you to see) in each fence that allow you to scroll down to view your files and folders. Your clutter is gone and in its place are fences of your choice with all your icons tucked neatly inside. Just use the scroll bar to locate them.
I am all for anything that makes my life easier and Stardock.com is my newest organizer! Check out the easy to follow video and get your own desktop organized.
Till next time…
EnJOY,
Kathy

Hi Kathy,
I love these little old sites that make life on your desktop run smoothly and this certainly does..
Now all i need is to find a program to organize Doris?

Excellent advice. My desktop is messier than my “real” desktop, and that is a paper-filled disaster.

Hi Kathy
Gotta give you a big thanks for this help desk organizer. Its been a while since I have seen the back of my monitor, I will have to use this to clean up.
Only problem is you get so used to where things are and when you try and find it after the clean up its hard
LOL

Hi Edson…thanks for stopping by. I had to laugh when you mentioned how hard they are to find initially…;) that very thing happened to me today) We are creatures of habit for sure but the good thing is it doesn’t take long to change that habit up and it will be easier in the end…just a matter of retraining ourselves.
Hi Kathy,
Thanks for pointing this out. I have two monitors and the icons have now formed 2 – 3 columns on the 2nd screen. My thought is that I still have room for more icon on my desktop
But when people see it, they call it “the jungle”, so I really need to do something about it. I’m trying this out immediately.

Hi Kathy… just an update on StarDock. While I managed to use it to clear off my desktop, apparently when you save more icons, they don’t go into the fences automatically. So now, I have the fences filled up and “un-fenced” icons all over the rest of the desktop! LOL This utility allows you to hold even MORE icons
Wishing you the best.

Hi Gwen,
I guess every program has its limitations and this one is no different. My desktop is getting cluttered again too so I must take the time to sort them into my existing fences!
Thanks for stopping by Gwen!

Hi Kathy,
Whew! Long time no talk
Awesome post – as always. You rock, my dear! Thanks for keeping me on my toes to stay up-to-date on things.
Many Thanks,
Svenja
Hi Svenja!
Glad to see you out and about again! I know you have been overwhelmed with other obligations so hopefully you will have more time now…;)
Think I’ll head back to your blog for a look…
Kathy
Very useful Kathy – thanks. I have downloaded the software, and liked the fact that I didn’t have to give an email address. So this is completely free without being submitted to any marketing campaigns – great!
Keep up the good work.
