Fences disappeared after reboot

I set up fences a week or two ago.  I don't remember if I rebooted since then, but I rebooted today and all my fences are gone.  Is there someplace I can look to find them. I would hate to have to reconfigure everything.

Pro or free?  Is everything missing, or just the fences?  If you right click on the desktop, is there a 'Configure Fences' option in the menu?

It's the free version.

The entire desktop is empty.  If go into windows explorer and view the desktop there is stuff there but I don't think it's representative of what was in my fences.

I can right-click and see a "Customize Fences..."

double click on your empty desktop.

^ This.

Fences has a feature where if you double click your desktop, it will hide everything.  Just double click to make them come back.

OMG,  you're right.  I knew about that feature, but the entire reboot thing threw me off.  I feel so stupid.  Sorry.  The unfortunate part is in my confusion, I tried to "restore" a snapshot which looked like a default one and it seems to have replaced all my previous settings.  At least that's what I'm assuming for now.  I'll make sure I save a snapshot after I get it set up again.  Thanks again.

Fear not.  There's no such thing as  'stupid questions'....only 'stupid answers' ....;)

I'm sure you weren't the first to be caught like that...;)

I can categorically say he is not the first.
