Usually people like to save shortcuts, files, documents, programs etc which are most frequently used on the desktop. Managing those scattered files/shortcuts on the desktop gets harder, if there are plenty of them.
The simplest thing you can do to manage, is to create folders and move the related contents to them. But by doing this, the main advantage gets defeated, which is to open files with a double-click.
Fences is a small utility which comes to your rescue. With Fences, you do not have to worry about managing the different files on your desktop anymore.
